The Tree of Trust

Trust does not grow easily. It is like the acorn that must be planted with care. Deep into the soil so that it's roots will be firmly entrenched within the ground.

This seed must also be watered regularly with actions that encourage it's growth. And nurtures with tender words that only speak the truth. Together the actions and words of an honest being will encourage the tiny seed to blossom and grow into the mighty oak.

But beware, I give to you these words of caution: Do not give reason by either word or deed for the mighty oak to sway in the breeze of uncertainty. Nor give lies free reign to do their damage in the storm of betrayal.

For once the tree is broken, it's roots pulled viciously from the ground never again will the mighty oak be what it once was.
