I woke up this morning feeling that in my sleep I had discovered a great truth. American’s no longer believe one another.
- Democrats do not believe anything that Republicans say and visa versa.
- The Tea Party Members do not believe anything either party says.
- The American Public does not believe anything that is said in Washington.
- TV Viewers do not believe anything they see or hear today on TV.
- I find myself listening to President Obama when he gives a speech or makes an announcement and I listen and then I holler out “Bull Sh-t!” That is all, just “Bull Sh-t!”
- I holler out the same thing when I listen to the Republicans and I did he same with President Bush.
- In other words I do not believe anyone in politics nor do I believe much of anything I hear today.
So what do I believe? Well, in 1953 Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl and Al Stillman wrote a song and it was made introduced by Jane Froman. Frankie Laine also made it a hit song. I believe in those lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rf0l9YnQN4I
Here they are..
I Believe
I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows
And I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
Yes I believe, oh I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
I believe
Oh I believe
I have to tell you I read every single one of your blog entries and enjoy them immensely.
This is one of my favorite songs as well. I remember listening to Elvis Presley & Tom Jones versions. Just beautiful.
Keep writing, keep believing!
Sincerely, Jan
Finally, I am getting your articles again. Love this one – this is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics are so true!
Glad you and Jean had a wonderful trip. Will “talk” to her soon.
