The Robins

I wonder if the robins back home miss me -

If they got used to my presence and offerings.

If they took them for granted, or viewed my every return as a gift.

I wonder which way would hurt more, when I left.

.

It takes a lot to build that trust, and not a lot to break it.

It hurts more to have faith and to be let down, than to have no faith at all.
