I believe in the hope of a nation
The health benefits of laughter
The memories of loved ones
The joy of a child
The warmth of the sun
strength, determination, grace
But I refuse to believe that there isn't something out there that is greater than ourselves.
I believe in honesty though it may hurt
I believe in love though it may fail
I believe in forgiveness though it may be hard
happiness, integrity, tenacity
And I believe in the need for a more peaceful world.
