July’s Fourth Week Prompt of Lifeline

Greetings poets,

I hope you all are doing great. Welcoming you all in the last week's prompt of July.

“Trust is not an obsession, it’s an extension of love. When we truly love someone, we give them our heart to hold in their hands. And when that love is returned, that very trust is balm to our souls.”

-Julie Lessman

In life, trust is everything. Assured reliance on character is the fundamental definition of trust.

Trust is a factor in bringing people together. You feel closer to one another as a result. For instance, your parents are the closest to you and the individuals you can blindly trust. To feel secure and loyal to any person in a relationship is to have trust in that person.

When you trust someone, you know that they won’t hurt you and will stand by you through any challenging circumstances. Any relationship starts with trust because it enables you to be open and vulnerable with the other person without fear.

Trust is an important factor in life as it promotes positivity and reduces conflicts in any relationship. In addition to that, it also promotes closeness and safety.

When there is no trust in a relationship, there is no bond. Lack of trust can lead to issues, and instead of enjoying your relationship, you might feel suffering.

The worth of trust is great. Strong connections with your coworkers, business partners, or friends are built on this foundation. Respect the faith that people place in one another. Never betray someone who has put their entire trust in you as it takes courage to trust. Once trust has been betrayed, it is difficult to rebuild it.

I’m sure we’ve all experienced a time when someone betrayed our confidence and made us feel unwanted. It’s difficult to think that the other person doesn’t value and trust us.

“Trust is like blood pressure. It’s silent, vital to good health, and if abused it can be deadly.”

-Frank Sonnenberg

The worst agony in this world is being hurt by those you have trusted. You can put the broken glass back together, but the cracks will always be visible and never truly heal.

Never betray someone’s trust, thus. If we all make an effort to accomplish this, the world will be a better place to live where trust is valued.

This week’s theme is “Trust”.

The prompt of the week is,

Write a poem about the experience of trusting or being trusted by another (human, animal, object, potted plant), reflecting on it or telling a tale about it. or the idea of mistrusting them (or not being trusted yourself).

I want to invite all the poets of Lifeline.
