The thing about trust is

it’s a two-way street

you aren’t going to find it

in everyone you meet…

Some say they want to love you

so you fully love them back

but, it’s only when you reach for them

you see how much love they lack…

Still others say you can trust them

telling you they’ve got your back

but when you’re in the midst of a battle

they’re unwilling to shield you from attack…

There is however a type of soul

Who’s willing to reach out

lending friend and neighbor a helping hand

of their trust you feel no doubt…

These types take time to look for needs

wherever they happen to be standing

They always show up with a smile on their face

to help in what the moments demanding…

The thing that separates one from the other

is a heart carrying love that abounds

giving help to a brother without expecting returns

unbelievable though it sounds…

Trust, you see, rests side by side with love

for the two go hand in hand

If you love another as you say you do

beside them, forever you’ll stand…

When they laugh, you laugh

when they cry, you cry

whenever one needs the other

no one ever asks why?

Love is free and so is trust

Sometimes we strike gold in a soul

if one tunnels down deep to the heart of this prize

a trusting relationship begins to unfold…

Offer your love and trust in return

this response is proven to be wise

that soul wants us to be better within

our own value, they help us realize!
