An Unbelievable Belief System

I remember
melodies yet unsung
heard bells that haven't been rung
seen clouds that have yet to be hung
because I believe.

Never have I
seen hope actually spring eternal
witnessed thoughts that are internal
know first hand that hell's an inferno
but, I believe.

I'll always
know a love that has no end
remember the value of a friend
and possess a faith that will not bend
for I believe.

Tomorrow
has not yet set out to be
yet is still a step towards eternity
and only that can guarantee
why, I believe.

Very nice. It had an excellent rhythm to it, and couple with its inspirational (but not sappy) overtones, led to a quality piece here.
