POEM: I BELIEVE

I Believe...
That just because two people argue, doesn't mean they
don't love each other. And just because they don't argue,
doesn't mean they do love each other.
I Believe...
That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing, and have the
best time.
I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're
down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've
had, and what you've learned from them.....and less to do with how
many birthdays you've celebrated.
I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I Believe...
That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change
your life Forever.
I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something
totally different.
I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people
who don't even know you.
I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I Believe...
That even when you think you have no more to give, if a friend cries
out to you........you will find the strength to help.
I Believe....
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I Believe...
That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the
consequences.
I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I Believe....
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in. I
just did.
