The need to proclaim
The way one lives each day
Forever will be cast upon deaf ears
When our life
Is not as we declare
These shallow words
That we choose to speak
Are not the measure
Of any man
Nor the wealth that he may keep
And although falsehood and deceit
Is in the hearts of all
One's true character begins
With the way that he reacts
To his fellow man
To live our lives with selfless courage,
Humility and grace
And not for recognition
False sincerity
Or selfishness and praise
All sought in feeble effort
To justify one’s self worth
This is all just a guise
For the insecurities we keep.
It is truly not what one gets
But really what one gives in truth
That will free us from the ties
That can forever bind us
To the demons within our soul
The one's we so carefully conceal

Truth speaks clearly in your words..

Thank you Ainjel and Jeff ... peace to you both
