My Belief Poem by Ceri Louise Baylis

This life can throw me off course
Break me down leaving remorse
Spend time wishing for a more desirable reality
Or face life's harsh moments and brutality
No matter what this life throws at me
I'm blessed with a peaceful way to see
I am a deep believer in the afterlife
Which relives me from any such strife
The belief that there's a world beyond this;
Evokes peace to any troubles simply made painless
Loss is replaced with hope, a brighter outlook to sustain
Eternal peace for our souls to live on and remain
Safe in the knowing I'll see loved ones again
Peacefulness fills my mind no more sorrow and pain
Strength gained from life's hurt and despair
Lessons teaching us from past mistakes we do bear
So even at the darkest of times endured;
Peace shall prevail from my beliefs I'm assured.(2016)
