Trust
<p>*Trust*
</p><p>
</p><p>Trust is a quiet thing.
</p><p>Not loud promises.
</p><p>Not grand gestures.
</p><p>It’s the small _yes_ you give,
</p><p>again and again.
</p><p>
</p><p>It’s showing up when you said you would.
</p><p>It’s telling the truth when a lie would be easier.
</p><p>It’s leaving your heart unguarded,
</p><p>and believing someone will hold it gently.
</p><p>
</p><p>Trust is built like a bridge.
</p><p>One plank at a time.
</p><p>With time, with honesty,
</p><p>with choosing each other on ordinary days.
</p><p>
</p><p>It’s resting when you’re tired,
</p><p>because you know you won’t fall.
</p><p>It’s disagreeing, and still staying.
</p><p>It’s being seen — all of you —
</p><p>and not being afraid.
</p><p>
</p><p>Trust doesn’t rush.
</p><p>It grows in silence, in waiting,
</p><p>in the spaces between words.
</p><p>And once it’s there,
</p><p>it turns strangers into home.
</p><p>
</p><p>So be worthy of it.
</p><p>Be careful with it.
</p><p>Because trust is rare.
</p><p>And when you find it,
</p><p>you hold it like light.
</p><p>
</p><p><br/></p>
