I found this poem a few years ago and its always stuck with me... its so simple but yet still so elegant....

I BELIEVE…

I believe-that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe-that no matter how good a friend is,they're going to hurt you everyonce in a while and you must forgivethem for that.
I believe-that true friendship continues to grow,even over the longest distance.Same goes for true love.
I believe-that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe-that it's taking me a long timeto become the person I want to be.
I believe-that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe-that you can keep going long after you can't.
I believe-that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe-that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe-that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,the passion fades and there had better be something else to takeits place.
I believe-that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe-that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe-that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I believe-that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe-that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give methe right to be cruel.
I believe-that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe-that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe-that it isn't always enough to beforgiven by others. Sometimes youhave to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe-That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe-that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe-that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe-That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
I believe-that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe-That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe-That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I believe-that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe-that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
