Experience Proves Belief Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Belief is only unproven theory
Commonly found in the human mind.
While all men have beliefs, certainly -
Not all are true, this fact we find.

Dogma is a set of beliefs probably
Religious in context and accepted
As true by a majority or assembly,
Only by a few can they be interpreted.

Skeptics, atheists, scoffers, the lot -
Can negate and deny everything they want.
But belief that has been experienced is what
Proves the truth, and deny it they can't.

We cannot speak of Love if we never loved.
We believe there's wind because we feel it.
We know what is peace in the home we have
We know what is hope and what failure can forfeit.

Belief is only belief unless experienced.
Experience evolves it to Faith, proven and true.
The reality of belief has then commenced
And Truth experienced marks all that we do.
