In Trust

Here we all are

Or were

With our hearts in your hands

Trusting

You would handle them

With wisdom

And love

With compassion

And kindness

How many of us

Have snatched them back

Before they were crushed

Completely

With thoughtlessness

And cruelty

With selfishness

And disregard

How many of us

Were left

With next to nothing

To rebuild

On our own

So we could trust again

So we could love again

So we could smile again

How many?
