All that I am I can attribute to you
Because you've always been there to pull me through
To help me do the things I thought I could not do
I know I'm a better person
when I'm trusting in you
When I listen to the words that you whisper in my ear
When I acknowledge the fact that you wipe away my tears
When I rest in your arms, you erase my fears
You've made me a better person over the years
Because I've trusted in you
I haven't always listened, I haven't been the best
But that has not made you love me any less
And with you by my side, I've passed 'most every test
And when the day comes that I take my final rest
I would have been a better person
Because I trusted in you

Okay, this struck me in a personal way, as usual. The inability to trust, period, has been an issue for me ever since I experienced my first act of ultimate betrayal. By the second (and last) experience, I placed a cast around my heart when it came to the trust factor. And I can't even say that deep down inside I wished things didn't have to be like this, cause that isn't the case. I mean, I definitely understand why things have to be like this. However, I might've wondered if there was something about me that was doing something wrong, though. Then one day a woman assured me that "to not trust anyone is to not trust myself" and I couldn't help but reflect upon what she had ultimately gotten me to see.
I'm still not able to trust with my heart, but I've come to hold high regards for the beautiful soul or souls that truly personify the invaluable feeling of one's heart being able to do as much. You know, like the feeling that resonates in this heartwarming poem of yours. If this was a game of basketball...it would be the last shot, the game-winner, and nothing but net.
