Analysis of Believe

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



She lay her hands in pools of blood
As wheels of destiny said she should
And looked upon a teddy bear
Replacing child of heavens cheer
And braved the world with hardened face
Into the mercy of histories lace
Until her cruel and painful death
When she did pledge in ephervess
Into an orb no more no less
Until she reached her time of rest
With angel child upon her breast.
