I TRULY BELIEVE...

...and these things I truly believe.
...that the sun will arise in the morning
       To caress the essence of midnight dew.
...that the trees grow much taller than I am.
...that the robin's song is always new.
...that the heavens are drenched with an artist's pallet
       When evening's sun sinks low.
...that you and I are forever, and that's
       All that we need to know.
...that the children are our future.
Teach them well.
Give them heart    
Show them truth.
All we are upon reaching adulthood
Are the things that we learned in our youth.
...that the yearning which comes from inside of us all
Is the passion, which shows us the way.
...that the caution which bids us  to strive to survive
Gives us pause to reflect and obey.
...that my life would be hollow without you.
...that it's meaning would soon fade away.
Facing east, we both search for the sunlight...
Side by side we await the new day.
