Trust

Trust - - - - - - - - - - - - Helpless it is as an infant Newly born, An organism programmed To survive Without the wherewithal To hold its own Yet sent with the instinct In the beginning As the only goal to last Helpless the baby is Can't turn even All resources look scanty To make it survive Yet it delivers itself To what we call trust Only in someone Can you have total trust Who is all-knowledge and all-power Having no limitation whatsoever For the child That person becomes God To the voice of the person Who rocks the cradle Or on the moving lap The child relaxes and goes to sleep As in its awareness Total trust comes from safety And safety comes from trust
