"Gives and Keeps" by Susan Pearl

Faith gives strength to a dream,
Hope gives perseverance to a dream,
Love keeps the dream alive.

"Going Forward" by Susan Pearl

Some say, "Let the chips fall where they may",
Maybe I shall start to say that each day,
Because no matter what, no matter who,
The chips are going to fall where they may, anyway.
And no mater what we go through,
We all will win a few and lose a few, too.
"Life is a mixture" they, also, say,
So while we go forward  "let the chips fall where they may",
As we we keep the important part in place each and every day.

" Believing with Faith" by Susan Pearl

They say "seeing is believing",
But when we envision the good that can be,
That is called "Faith" you see.

" Light Finds Light " by Susan Pearl

Oh, the reflection of the moonlight on the water
   is such a beautiful sight,
And it could only happen at night,
Because light finds light for a partner
   to make millions of glistening gems
   so pleasing to the eye,
Showing, as they simultaneously shine, a connection to the sky.
So, maybe, somehow for me to be right here right now
   is the only time I can see how-
The reflection of the moonlight on the water
  Is such a beautiful sight,
And it could only happen at night-
In the darkness light finds light,
  and it can only happen at night.

" New Normal " by Susan Pearl

Whenever I go through a process of change and things will not ever be the way they used to be,
I know a "new normal" has begun for me,
They say that "the more things change the more they remain the same",
And so I know, too, that no matter what----faith, hope and love will remain,
With love being the greatest of these three,
Somehow any "new normal" will hold faith, hope and love for me,
These three, faith, hope and love, will be there for me to find,
Through the process of changes as they come with the passage of time.
