Believing

Believing

Believe then what you may
However, it may not be the truth
It may feel right much of the time
Then may not be reality

Finding common ground
May be the hardest thing you’ll do
In fact, it is so well hidden
It might be right before your eyes

Continuing in self worth
Holding on for dear life
Making pearls out of errors
Staying true to yourself

Much suffered refines like gold in the fire
When polished will shine like the sun, when love conquers all.
