Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes Piglet?"
"Nothing" said Piglet taking Poohs hand.
"I just wanted to be sure of you."
A A Milne.


Trust

You are a big bear who I want to trust.
I have no choice in this forest.
Everyone is mostly bigger than me and
It is plain to see I am dependent on you
No matter what you put me through.
And you are a big hearted bear
Who makes noises so loud and certain.
But once in a while I need to know I
Can count on your quiet comfort.
I only whisper so you might hear me
Above the hullabaloo that is easy for you.
A little part of my heart melts each
Time you listen and hold my hand.
I try to be very sure of you big bear.
We are in this forest forever.

Hey kiddo, first time I recall us making the front board together. :-) This poem was richly deserving.

An interesting metaphor, Linda. Very nice ... take that from a Christpher Robin kind of guy. :-)
