~truth~ Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

~truth~

Rating: 5.0


...The Truth is all we have...
Treat it most gingerly...
For 'tis worth much more than a grain of salt-
It keeps us grounded in Reality...

Hold it near to our hearts-
...keep it filed away in our heads...
Knowing that in the end-'it will set us free..'.
...Or so, 'tis oft' time said!

And so, in the Morning of Our Dawn
...'Til the Evening of our Last Sunset...
We shall try, ever so earnestly-
(In Our Afternoon of Life) ...
To never end up in: 'The Truths Unwanted Debt'

'Truth' as recounted by witnesses of events, is different for each individual, just listen to the various versions of an event by several eye-witnesses - thus the most important truth is the requirement for respect for each individual's version and putting all aspects together, never claiming one subjective 'truth version' is more 'right' than another; and the most beautiful truth is freedom - let us guard the truth of freedom and respect with all we have; a beautiful theme, thank you Theodora! Kind regards, Margaret.
