What happened to trust
the old fashioned kind
Friendship was important
and with peace of mind
Believing spoken words
was without thought
Never need to doubt
incase a liar was caught

Whatever the gender
there are good and bad
Confronting a situation
can make us feel sad
The quicker you accept
trust must be earned
Peace of mind accepted
without fingers burned

Know you have to
stay alert-on your toes
As all are not friends
some people act-foes
So take your time
give a situation thought
Remember true friendship
can never be bought

When asking questions
leads to cynical thoughts
Though sometimes necessary
for your safety caught
One leading question
to always ask yourself
Regarding others intention
you protect your health

So....what do they want from you?
a right of gift, it's true
Knowing all facts.... important
before any commitment is due
Trickery a nasty subject
you really must consider
Protecting oneself a right
especially if you're the giver......

Questions..... some have such simple answers.......
but if not forthcoming.....
better to ask....
