In the garden of bonds where hearts entwine,
There blooms a flower, so rare and divine.
Its petals are soft, like whispers in the breeze,
It’s called trust, a gift that puts hearts at ease.
Trust, a fragile thread, woven through time,
An intangible bridge, both yours and mine.
It’s the faith we nurture, the doubts we release,
A priceless treasure that brings inner peace.
In the darkest of nights and the stormiest of days,
Trust is the beacon that guides our ways.
It’s a shelter, a refuge, a fortress so strong,
In its gentle embrace, we all truly belong.
Like a gentle river, it flows without end,
Through valleys of joy and around every bend.
It’s the glue that binds, the foundation we lay,
A steadfast companion on life’s winding way.
With trust, we share secrets, our hopes, and our fears,
We wipe away each other’s sorrowful tears.
But trust, once shattered, is a fragile glass,
It takes time to mend, the pain unsurpassed.
So let us cherish this treasure so dear,
Hold it close to our hearts, forever near.
In a world filled with chaos, where doubt often creeps,
Let trust be the promise our souls shall keep.
For in trust, we discover love’s endless art,
A binding force that mends every broken heart.
