"I Believe"
by Josh Liller
A slightly abridged version of this won me a 2001 International Poet of Merit Award from the International Poetry Society.
2000

I believe in magic
I believe life is tragic

I believe I can fly
way up in the sky
I believe I will win
again and again

I believe I'll come back
no matter the odds
I believe in my mind
I believe that sometimes the best things are hard to find

I believe in God
and I believe I've got friends
I believe in my heart
that love never ends

I believe in rock and
I believe in roll
I believe in the end
when I break at the bends
there will be someone there
to help me repair

I believe some day I'll die
and look upward and smile
cause there are some things on which I can depend
such as, the end.
