Promises On a Whim

Thinking no further than today
Almost naively believing
Tomorrow may or may not come

Know everything has its price
Especially naiveté

Naïveté does indeed have rewards too for vulnerable people who repeatedly believe in the goodness of others are the happiest people on earth, feeling their humanity, satisfied and fulfilled. I think you could make this into an amazing Line poem, Line.

Yes how true, it certainly is amazing to witness naiveté that is not stifled. Thanks for your visit and comment, Caren.
