The Meaning of Trust
by Laurie Kolp

Trust...
start with a friend
(or loved one)
drive to a café
(must have character)
two coffee specialties
(no alcohol, please)
one sinful dessert
(Death by Chocolate)
add good conversation
(no calls, no texts)
a trip down memory lane
(not morbid reflection)
and future fantasies
(unlimited TMI)
briefly discussed
(must keep secrets)
but talk of today
(good and bad)
which is truly a gift
(affirmations, please)
shared with a friend
(or loved one)
is the meaning of trust.
