The Gift of Trust

If I could have any gift in the world...

A huge home with maids and zero depth pools

  a walking garden with forever fresh roses

A fast car that gleams in gold 

 so many cars I lose count

A diamond that has been rendered the largest

 with points that have no ending

A healthy body that can endure all weather

 never gaining a pound, never anything less then perfect

An island all to myself with millions to spend

 surroundings of country club life 

A famous moment where all know my name

 cover of a magazine with others of fame

So many things a person could and would ask for

if they could have any gift in the world

non of this would do for me...

I would only like to have trust

to hold it 

to know what it feels like

cherish it...the safety of this thought

trust is an errand I have never gotten to run

trust seems to be the safest place in the world

trust is the gift I want most in the world

to trust you to trust me...safe

safe comes with no slaps that smack 

the soul ...everlasting,true,...trust

'The Gift Of Trust' concept's good to think about life like life's a gift too living freely from stress or worries. Words're good and well structured. I enjoyed the write.

Nice work.
Trust is like baseball....'you win some, you loose some, and some get rained out'.
I think the trust that 'works' is the trust that is tied to realistic expectations.
But 'realistic' is no absolute so what can you do?
Take a chance when you think the consequences are manageable, I suppose.
Very thought-provoking piece.

This is wonderful Holly. Trust is indeed a rare thing. There only a handful of people I really trust. Others have fooled me into trusting them... you know what I mean... Love this poem. Davif

"trust is an errand i've never gotten to run"

great line...
like the whole piece and totally agree..what you ask for is more important than all the material possessions put together...

excellent write...

Trust that won't rust, that will unconditionally be your flying carpet, Hell I'd settle for a equal.
