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.

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.
