I Believe

I believe that against all odds
the fighter, the survivor overcomes
and you will make it.

I believe that the goodness in you
is greater than any bad choice
you have made in your life.

I believe in your ability to love deeply
in spite of the mistreatment and abuse
you’ve encountered.

I believe that chances go round
and that everyone gets a turn
for a blessing, a home, another chance.

I believe that the warmth of your spirit
and the strength of your soul
sustain you.

When the winds of life
bring tears to your eyes—
yet you continue on to another day.

I believe that we all are a paycheck,
a Katrina, a match, or one bad decision
away from homelessness.

I believe that while you
sleep in the streets,in the shelter,
on that friend’s sofa,
angels surround you, touching you
and rubbing your cheek.

I believe that even if you don’t believe,
I can believe until you can believe
for yourself.

I believe that we are all connected—
we are all a piece of each other.
