Hoping For Love and Trust

Fretting 
Over his lies
Trust not 

Trusting
Never again
Now wise

Wisdom
Comes with life
I learned

Learning
To share my heart
Cautious

Caution
on longest days
yields peace

Peaceful
Flowing waters
Bring hope

Hopeful
Fretting no more
Heart's strong

Strength builds
Tower of faith
Rising

Sunrise 
Brightens dark days
Light shines

Shining
My stride returns
With love

Loving
Not enabling
Trust earned

Hi Rhonda, I like a poem that is packed and compact with wisdom, such is evidenced here. Your last stanza, "loving, not enabling, trust earned" is powerful, potent and so true. Congratulations on your well deserved win. I rated it a 7. Have a great week end. Earl
