TRUTH AND PEACE

Next to GOD, TRUTH must be.....
A fact of life, that sets me free!
Surfaces eventually and gives correction,
Pointing me, in the right direction!
Distortion and deceit displace desire...
To be an accomplice or to admire,
All of the things, that could transpire!
If we hide TRUTH, to protect our name,
Secrets are lies....just the same!
Causing doubts and disatisfaction,
And life seems less....due to subtraction!
TRUTH and TRUST go forth together,
Give courage and hope, in stormy weather!
Not meant to harm or dissipate,
But, steering me towards a final fate!
It takes courage, to face the TRUTH I see,
In my world....but, mostly in ME!
I must accept my "good" and feel affection,
And for the rest, I'll strive for correction!
For I can't stand still...I must progress,
My inadequacies, I must address!
My inner image, will change and grow,
My strengths and weaknesses, I'll try to know!
My goals aren't complicated, or expensive,
I only need steady, personal intention!
To reach new heights, of mind and soul, so...
I can allow simplistic TRUTHS to show!
One tiny lie, that might seem so "Just",
Can create destruction and cause mistrust,
Don't give me glorified response or praise!
Just give me TRUTH and your honest ways!
So, that I can know who you really are,
Not some "mirage", or a distant "star"!
I'll give you TRUTH and you do likewise,
TRUTH rewards....removes foolish disguise!
My search for it must never cease,
Without this TRUTH, I'll not find
PEACE!!
