I Believe: Is another poem I wrote about another local soldier that gave his life serving our country in Iraq.

I Believe

I believe in many things, like the sun
even when it doesn't shine.
I know it's up there, lighting the way
for all of mankind.

I believe in love though it's fragile,
and often seldom shown.
I know it exists, because it I have
known.

I believe in peace, although it seems
so very far away.
I believe in war, because it's taking
place everyday.

I believe in God, even when I cannot
hear Him speak, I always feel Him
near.
Though war and death is all around
us now, I can even feel Him here.

I believe in the Olive branch and the
dove.
I believe in all of God's angels, from
the Heaven's above.

So though you will weep for me as
I am gone.
Remember that you raised me well, to
believe and to trust in God above,
remember the happy times and the
memories, that shall forever live on.

Yes I believe in God, even when I
cannot hear Him speak, so as I pass
from this life from this wound, I do so
without fear.
Because with a teardrop in His eye,
God is kneeling beside me here.
