Keep the Trust

Keep The Trust

Trust is like a piece of glass
it isn't always clear
You're best to treat it as the same
to keep those you hold dear

When you practice to deceive
honest you are not
As loved ones learn your deceitful ways
your lies will not be bought

In this world there are many
people consumed with greed
They will tell you any lie
to get more than they need

So practice being honest
no need to cheat or lie
For those you love, keep the trust
until the day you die.

Wonderfully expressed and so filled with truth my friend. When you deceive others you are also deceiving yourself. The truth always come out so make it easy and just be honest to begin with. What a great poetic message that flows nicely as I read it today. Beautifully done Lenna.

Thank You Chris:) I started this awhile back, but the last stanza didn't come right away and when it finally did (suddenly) I was still hesitant to post it. So happy to read your kind words, I feel a bit relieved from them :)
