Analysis of I believe
I Believe
I believe in what God has gifted me
I believe in all I can touch and see
I believe the sun once more will rise
I believe that my father was very wise
In my own beliefs, there is a secret one
it is the one that I hold special for my son
I am sure I will have him in my arms again
as sure as heavenly clouds will billow in rain
I shall whisper ever so softly when I am near
I will speak so tenderly in my baby boy's ear
I shall tell him how much I missed him for many years
For there have been many painful nights with many tears
I shall tell him of his sweet mother's love
She will join us in her own given time above
We will wait together in her field of dreams
As I believe this is what heaven really means
