Committed To Truth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Committed To Truth



Someone who has made mistakes,
And has admitted them...
Whether publicly,
Or in private conversation...
Has much more credibility,
Than someone who hides flaws.
With pretense.
And a shallowness condensed,
Behind a self righteous stance to convince...
They are squeaky clean!
We are all human beings.
And if anyone denies,
They've done nothing to regret in their entire life...
Either lies,
Or an introduction to truth has not been made.
And if it was...
They would deny it anyway!
Anyone committed to truth,
Should not be held accountable
For others who are not.
Or even to those who are!
How many lives can one person live at one time?
Especially if one is trying to live the one given,
Correctly!

You said it Larry - clearly and unequivocally. My son tells me to 'live one lifetime at a time.' Not sure why, but his words seem to fit rather nicely with yours. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
