I Believe Poem by Jim Butler

I Believe



I believe...
That if everyone would love and respect each other,
the world would be an incredible place.

I believe...
That a smile can mean more than anything to anyone,
Even if it doesn't seem so.

I believe...
That you should never be part of the problem,
But part of the solution.

I believe...
That people are not always who they appear to be.
I believe...
That every monster has a soft side.

I believe...
There is good in Everyone

I believe...
That you should never know someone
For how they look
Or sound,
But who they are.

It's sweet. It sounds like a kids voice. I like the way it flows, simple, objective, well written with a great message.

There is a deep meaning in your poem, but it seems like you're using quotes from different people. What idea struck you when you wrote this? Was there something intellectual hidden away in the seeds of your words? ^.^ Good job, though. P. S. There are a few believes that need to be spaced apart because they're not matching the same layout scheme as the rest.

The repetition grabs the reader and gains their interest. Also love the different sizes of stanzas. I truly love this poem.

“That a smile can mean more than anything to anyone” Do you know how many times I’ve felt crummy only to have you come up to me and give me a smile? It’s a beautiful side of you… I like the repetition; also, having a longer last stanza makes it more meaningful, especially when followed by the shorter first stanzas.
