For years I worked so hard
Never suspecting anything
Always trusting
Willing to share
Never knowing what was ahead
Those taking credit they didn’t earn
Leaving me creditless up ahead
Friend’s who cheat you of almost anything
Dare I stop to wonder what more they have stripped me of
Now I tread softly trusting almost no one
Never doubting the trust of a friend
Next time I’ll listen to the words of my truest friends
Trust must be earned in order to be given
Ever So Trusting©
