defy doubt

like

a tree without

leaves

foster faith like that  

bird who rests on unsteady branches

alone

to serenade his mate

believe, just believe

the sun in

your smile will spread warmth

and your world will erupt with life

providing any shelter you need

courage will grow in sweet time
