believe

to believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.  it is to trust that miracles happen and that dreams do come true.  to believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, to know the wonder of stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.  to believe is to embrace the value of a childs innocence and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings that we learn to how to love.  to believe is to know that life is a precious gift to cherish, and that wonderful surprises are waiting to happen.  all our dreams are within reach...if we believe.
