A Safe Haven

I am a child
looking to you for protection....
that trust is betrayed.

I am innocence
looking to you for affection....
that trust is betrayed.

I am a young wife
expecting you to be faithful....
that trust is betrayed.

I am a widow
looking to you for justice....
that trust is betrayed.

I am an old person
looking to you for compassion....
that trust is betrayed.

Thank you, God,
for being the one place I can always go
where my trust is never betrayed.
