true belief

Belief can be a whisper - belief can be a shout
Belief can speak of what we have - or cannot live without.

Belief can have a child's joy - an adult's fervent prayer
Belief can be reflected in passionate protest or reflect in passionate care.

Belief can be in the heavens and floating down a cool stream
Belief can be in the oldest tree - in the newest spark of a dream

Belief can be in one man's words - reflected in another's eyes
Belief can be a hope for something better - just, truthful, and wise.

Belief can waver and falter - belief can be unmoving and strong
Belief can draw close or divide - we cannot believe it'd be wrong

Belief can go against the masses, when built on that seed of faith
Belief can assure when all seems lost - when you're hurting and out of place

Belief can seem unreal - in a world so damning and realistic
Belief can be all you live for - "something better" is so idealistic

Belief can be seen in a man - dying for sins on a tree
Belief can imprison our bodies, but belief can still make us free

Belief can be so many things - willingness to endure, fight, or fall
I believe God provides every each one, as a way to reach one and all
