Definition: To accept as true, particularly without absolute certainty (i.e., as opposed to knowing)
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look,
At the word “believed,” it’s quite a book!
The dictionary's right, you see, it’s true,
It means to accept something – just for you!
But not with
certainty
, that’s key, you know,
Like knowing facts, in a steady flow.
Think of it this way, a hopeful plea,
"I
believe
it might be, honestly!"
Perhaps you trust a friend's sweet tale,
Or a feeling deep inside, without fail.
It’s accepting something as likely, bright,
But not declaring with absolute light!
So “believed” means to hold in your mind,
A possibility, of a special kind.
