Truth To Live It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Truth to live it.
Becomes freer to do.
When one is face to face,
With a health crisis.
Or,
Bestowed with a jolt of guilt.
Then blessed to know,
Truth to live it heals.
With no mistaking,
How real and good it feels.
To be honest with oneself and others.
And to realize,
Those who lie live in denial.
Then try to prove,
Their truth to live is not deluded.
And created to have others believe.
With it done convincingly.
Yet defy to deny what is true.
