Belief

Belief 

To clasp within cupped hands, glory caught from my breath

Wise words spoken but not now lost, saved for others to digest

These words hold fortune and ambition, should any choose to use

The wisdom of these spoken words, an importance not to lose

Taken from a holy book, torn from a tome of gallant tales

Wherever these words are found, surety that it never fails

Tis faith of which we talk so well, tis found in places so strange

If you hold it close to your breast, tis enough for life to change

Belief in what you can achieve, take heart from what is said

If faith you have in others you love, then love they will spread

You will receive reward for faith, a blessing upon yourself

Not money nor gold nor baubles, your heart full from someone else

Love will not stop the bullet, it makes the fight worthwhile

With love within to strengthen belief, a worthy battle you will win

Hold fast the course you have chosen, let no other force you to retreat

If death is what awaits you, in time your love you will again meet
