These things that I learn
on Life's great journey
Some are small lessons
some are huge
Each has a price
some easy to pay
some cost so dear
Everything in life
takes trust
Without it
life is not living
it is existing
trudging through the days
and long lonely night
Searching for what?
I know not
Trust
such a small word
Five simple letters
But the emotion wakes a monster
deep within me
One that is hungry
devouring all that is good
all I hold dear
This monster is Fear
Trust
that small simple word
can vanquish the beast
If only I let it
I let it once before
the rewards are beyond words
can I let it once more?
Do I have the strength?
Again, your words echoing in my mind
Raising a warmth
the best of it's kind
Do I have the strength?
with you by my side the answer is yes
The wall once so secure
Now cracked and trembling
it's foundation rocked
by your love unending
The wall round my heart
so softly it falls
a whisper in my soul, yes, let go
My eyes show the fear
my heart and soul, bare
praying to God it's not in vain
Allowing your warmth to wash over me
filling me so deep so welcome
Once more the trust wells up, overflowing
This time I let it
The fear still there
Yet with your warmth, strength and love
I can overcome it
Secure in the knowledge
That soon
I alone will be able to vanquish the beast
