Trust Poem by James Casey

Teardrops fell from Jimmy’s face, as he held his mother’s hand
Sorrow filled his broken heart, as he fought to understand
Why his mom was leaving, why he had to let her go
And as his fear grew stronger, Jimmy felt his panic grow

For how would he survive without his mother guiding him along?
Giving words of encouragement, support to make him strong?
As Jimmy started trembling, the tears continued down his cheeks,
He realized that the time was near, It'd only be a ' couple for weeks '

But now here in that moment, Jimmy couldn’t say good-bye
Instead his mother stood there silently and watched him cry
And as if his mother read his mind, or maybe his heart,
She spoke her final words, intended to leave their mark

' You are going to Grandmas house, I will come back for you soon '
So off went Jimmy to Grandma's house like some silly old baboon
But her words remained behind, giving Jimmy the strength to carry on
He knows now that she lied to him and only sang to him a tune

Though there will be times when Jimmy feels weak and small,
And it would seem easier to give into others, instead of proudly standing tall,
He finds himself thinking clearly of all the little boys on earth
Who feel so unimportant, not aware of their own worth

And I've got a word of thanks, thanks that I'd like to say
For the rage that I feel, for the rage that I feel today
I've stack of chips on my shoulder In everything I do
Because of the terrible mistake I made of trusting you
