Reflection: This was an inspiration/hope-themed poem that I wrote back in April of 2015 to inspire a sense of hope, harmony, optimism, and belonging by shifting the focus from what we personally believe to what believes in us. So many hold so firmly to their individual beliefs which can be very divisive in nature and create a life of isolation, loneliness, and pessimism.
