For your part,
your earthly this and that,
safe and secure,
encouraging to detail
as much as possible of the dream,
sealing my window,
but that god is not my god,
that faith, not my faith,
that belief, not mine.
Used the trust,
used the love ,
used it...
Remains the lie,
remains the hurt.
Still love you,
won't let the negative control,
manipulate, regulate,
influence my mind, my heart, my soul,
not this game that life plays.

Building trust
brick by brick,
the cornerstone
laid firmlywith a truth

that no one else has offered.

For that gift, I roll up my sleeves,
get on my knees, mindless of the mortar
and the sweat in my eyes, wielding my
own trowel to build our trust brick by brick.
