This poem was written for Dave. A lover who became a good and cherished friend. We kept each other going through dark times. I reached out to him recently just to say Hi and thank you. We had not spoken in years. We are both past the dark times.
He was happy to hear from me. Its good to stay in touch. Some people touch you for a lifetime.
Listen to poem:
Some think it's given up front
some think it's earned
some think it's something innate
some think it learned
Though trust is not a physical thing
it can be broken, shattered, smashed
and with each blow the trust left is not like cash
Its more like water, it drips and drizzles and oozes all away
its meant to be in a calm still pool not agitated in any way
Though the pool can settle to a blow the container might gain a crack
and its ourselves you see that need the fixing, to hold the trust pool back
With trust in yourself, and trust in others, the world is a friendly place
With lack of trust into a bleak world we are thrust and our future is in decay
So build the bonds of trust with me, and as I will with you
to be there for each other, no matter what may come
is the best in this world we can do.
