Trust

A poem by the Poet Thomas R Smith of Wisconsin USA :

Life becomes more complicated everyday, and each of us can control only so much of what happens.

Trust

It’s like so many other things in life
to which you must say no or yes.
So you take your car to the new mechanic.
Sometimes the best thing to do is trust.

The package left with the disreputable looking
clerk, the check gulped by the night deposit,
the envelope passed by dozens of strangers –
all show up at their intended destinations.

The theft that could have happened doesn’t.
Wind finally gets where it was going
through the snowy trees, and the river, even
when frozen, arrives at the right place.

And sometimes you sense how faithfully your life
is delivered, even though you can’t read the address.
