SATURDAY CENTUS
asks us to use the following phrase, plus 100 words or less
'Saying goodbye was harder than she thought............'
FAREWELL
She thought it would be easy,
Saying goodbye to Ted,
After all she was a big girl now,
Into Barbie Dolls instead.
It was harder than she expected!
On her way to the bin,
Teddy looked her in the eye
And gave her his usual grin.

BELIEF SYSTEM
I believe in Belief! For Belief indeed exists.
For Followers of Religion and also Atheists.
I believe that I am here, the proof is irrefutable,
So proclaiming disbelief in me seems really quite unsuitable.
I believe that you exist; you're not some shimmering wraith!
Indeed, believing in you, my friend, requires no leap of faith.
I believe the sun tomorrow will shine up in the sky;
But I merely hope that I will be here, watching it roll by.
'Belief' and 'Hope' are not the same, though some may think them so.
Hoping doesn't make things happen; to 'believe' is not to 'know'.
I believe I'm writing a poem; I just hope it will be read.
But I have neither Belief nor Hope of Eternity when I'm dead!
