Trust

Trust

  ...is a fragile little thing,

That most tend to overlook.

A small word with a **** big meaning.

Some may uphold it; some may

Conveniently have it mistook...

Trust...

...is in the grasp of the unknown

Stranger,

That helps you up when you've fallen

Down.

Trust...

...is the pact between you and the cab

Driver,

As he takes you to where you want to

Be, across town.

Trust...

...the bough on which your swing does

Sit.

Pray that it doesn't break as you enjoy

It's a joyous ride.

Trust...

...your cook, hoping in your food he

Doesn't spit...

Especially when you've provided

The feedback scuffed his pride.

Trust...

...lays exposed when the keys to your

The house you surrender,

To your neighbour who'd keep an eye

While you're away on a retreat.

Trust...

...exists latent in the open palm of your

Caregiver...

As a child, you'd take his hand so he'd

Ferry you safely across the street.

Trust...

...is the unspoken oath that I had thought

We both held sacred...

When I spilt the contents, my heart

Couldn't bear it much longer.

Trust...

...meant nothing when you took it all for

Granted,

When you weakened and succumbed...

...and then shared with another...
