Hello friends, I would like to share this poem that I wrote in 2002
Thanks
My Belief
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
My Belief is my Source, my 'All That is'<o:p></o:p>
Not one unique person; but a part of all<o:p></o:p>
From individuals to whole realities<o:p></o:p>
My Belief is PART! Is EACH! Is ALL!<o:p></o:p>
See it in the smile of a lonely child!<o:p></o:p>
See it in the holding of a hand!<o:p></o:p>
See it in creatures both tame and wild!<o:p></o:p>
See it entwined in air, sea and land!<o:p></o:p>
~~~~~<o:p></o:p>
My Church is anywhere, any face!<o:p></o:p>
It is in my school room full of innocence<o:p></o:p>
Part of my home, my sacred place<o:p></o:p>
It is wherever I see a reverence!<o:p></o:p>
It is high on snow covered mountain top<o:p></o:p>
It is in ocean, blue and deep!<o:p></o:p>
My church will never start nor stop!<o:p></o:p>
It is wherever I awake or sleep!<o:p></o:p>
~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p>
My love is deep within my soul<o:p></o:p>
It nurtures my very existence<o:p></o:p>
It keeps me healthy, well and whole<o:p></o:p>
It offers all without resistance<o:p></o:p>
Flowing outwards from my heart<o:p></o:p>
It travels to where it's needed<o:p></o:p>
It enfolds and heals and becomes a part<o:p></o:p>
And returns tenfold unheeded!<o:p></o:p>
~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p>
My aim then, what is my aim?<o:p></o:p>
What do I strive to earn?<o:p></o:p>
What do I want to really gain?<o:p></o:p>
What do I want to learn?<o:p></o:p>
I aim to be WHO I AM<o:p></o:p>
To be me and no-one else<o:p></o:p>
I aim to do the BEST I CAN<o:p></o:p>
Regardless of position and wealth!<o:p></o:p>
And no-one else can deny me this right<o:p></o:p>
A right to be a whole<o:p></o:p>
Life's journey is a wonderful flight<o:p></o:p>
Accepting self ; conquers all!<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p>
so......<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
My Belief is my Source, my 'All That Is'<o:p></o:p>
From individuals to whole realities!<o:p></o:p>
My Church is anywhere; anyplace!<o:p></o:p>
Part of my home, my sacred place!<o:p></o:p>
My love is deep within my soul<o:p></o:p>
It keeps me healthy, well and whole<o:p></o:p>
I aim to be who I am<o:p></o:p>
I aim to do the best I can!<o:p></o:p>
~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p>
And as each day comes to an end<o:p></o:p>
As sun gently turns away<o:p></o:p>
I can say with hand on heart my friend<o:p></o:p>
I did my best today<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
