TrustTrust, so hard to find within one's self, and even harder to maintain. It is in trust that we truly grow, if we give our teachers our faith in perfected form. I recently lost a teacher because I did not trust him enough to speak the truth...such was a horrible loss...and I find my ability to trust even less present than before, despite the fact that I know that trust is the path to growth.~~Maia
By Robert Stevenson
SMALL is the trust when love is green
In sap of early years;
A little thing steps in between
And kisses turn to tears.
Awhile - and see how love be grown
In loveliness and power!
Awhile, it loves the sweets alone,
But next it loves the sour.
A little love is none at all
That wanders or that fears;
A hearty love dwells still at call
To kisses or to tears.
Such then be mine, my love to give,
And such be yours to take:-
A faith to hold, a life to live,
For lovingkindness' sake:
Should you be sad, should you be gay,
Or should you prove unkind,
A love to hold the growing way
And keep the helping mind:-
A love to turn the laugh on care
When wrinkled care appears,
And, with an equal will, to share
Your losses and your tears.
