Never Doubt

Never doubt, my dearest love, but keep your brightest hopes in view. [underlined] Never doubt that I am faithful, thinking all the time of you. [/underlined] . . . . Never doubt that skies will clear and life be happy once again. Know that there must be an end of separation, strife and pain.

[underlined] Never doubt my heart's devotion – steadfast through the changing years. I am yours for joy or sorrow, sharing all your hopes and fears. . . . Never doubt that I'll be waiting – waiting for you patiently. [/underlined] Trust, believe, and never doubt the best of life is yet to be.
