Third Place
In my early years I possessed this naive faith,
and I believed all that the Bible saith:
often to a fault,
it came from a place of innocent faith;
my life was simplistic with trust.
By fourteen I stopped expecting people to be kind,
I thought that I would find those of like mind:
but found liars,
yet, my naive remains and I seek out and find;
good people who believe in me.
And as an adult my naive quality is not weakness,
it is my source of strength and my uniqueness:
I question everything,
I ask for evidence- gone is all my meekness;
and I expect others to keep their promises.
