I love the uplifting, upbeat tone and positive message. Also love that dolphin pic! Perfect! Good flow. Just one spag snag to note:

they helped me building trust
for whom I'd held suspiciously at bay.


I suggest adding 'one' in line two to fix the grammar pertaining to FOR WHOM

they helped me building trust
for one whom I'd held suspiciously at bay

May more such happy moments blossom for you, daily!

Warmly,
rd

Jesse,
Happiness can bring on trust. Trust is hard to take and give. But once you do, it can change life immensely.
I like the choice of artwork.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Your concise, moving poem describes a wonderful, warm experience.
Sometimes we carry suspicions or other hard feelings with us, and someone who befriends us helps us get over the negativity.

    Yes, you are precisely right. I am suspicious much too often of other's motives. And I carry other hard feelings around with me. I'd like to get over the negativity, and share more happiness with people in my life. Thank you for this wonderful review, with all its insights and kind words.
    Take care and stay well,
    Jesse

    Thanks, Roy, for the amusing anecdote. I hope to never forget the experience I wrote about. Trusting someone and building a friendship takes practice. In that, I will hopefully remember my start. I appreciate your comments on my "warm language." I've never heard it referred to in that manner. I am honored. Thank you for your kind review and for the excellent rating.
    Enjoy your upcoming week.
    Take care,

Building trust is not easy at it seems especially in times like ours. But there is still hope, so thank for reminding me that this is an essential part of being human.

Sounds like somebody built a wall at a very young age, it is funny how quickly and solidly we build those walls and throughout time we may tear down a brick-one only as this makes for a quick fix, I think if that wall has been smashed we should not rebuild it the same, change it as you seem to be doing here, an excellent read with a powerful message, very well written****kahpot

I like your philosophy on the walls we build early on, and how it is necessary to change to make life better. Your final comments are so kind and thoughtful. I am honored by your words. Thank you for this exceptional review and rating. Have a great rest of your week.

    Thanks so much, for this wonderfully positive review and exceptional rating! It was more of a leap, than a step, out of my comfort zone. I know that risks come with it but, now I feel open to trusting. I'm glad you liked my choice of a picture of, what I perceived as, trusting, happy dolphins. Sharing happiness feels great! It was quite an accomplishment to hand write that letter. I am happy you got it. Have a fine rest of your week.
    Take care,
    Jesse
