Truth is a rare spiritual gem
Not held in high esteem by many earthly men.

Truth is universal, obvious, singular and one
Of high reason and purpose, like our earthly sun.

Truth can be acknowledged by sense
But only the mind will recognize pretense.

Truthful words can appear in more than one verse
But only the mind can make a choice and need not rehearse.

Humanity cannot survive if truth is replaced with a lie
All can be lost and every promise and dream; will finally die.

The curtain was open and then will close
What happens then; who really knows?

Who our parents were much of which is passed on to us
Family, customs and tradition; to use as an earthly crutch.

Who we are not as critical as to whom we become
Earthly time is a gift that is loaned to everyone.

Man, woman and children part of earth's circular wheel
Along with time; the mind has the capacity to reveal
.
