~~
When I took an honest look
Into my heart thought so true
I did'nt recognize the man I saw
I thought " Who in the world are you? "
I did not see the man
I thought I might see
Instead a man of compromise
Vaguely resembling me
Now I fight for the truth
I need no more to decieve
For the man I have become
My heart does believe
Russ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honest Truth
Take heed what you believe
Measure every principle –every word
Learn to recognize the truth
Separate reasonable from absurd
Learn never to lie
And to yourself especially not
For soon the lies you will believe
Conscience is set at naught
Strive to be fair
Judge only if you must
Be open, honest and true
A person all can trust
Give to others generously
Of heart, hope and grace
Sharing these things freely
Gods love you embrace
Learn to love unselfishly
Never abuse or use it as a tool
Never think you understand it
For then you become a fool
Pray God grants you true humility
So essential to the heart
For the honesty in humility
Will the truths of wisdom impart
Russ
