Truth

Truth will catch up. No matter what we say, or do, or believe, or hope, or dream about, or desire. Truth will override, overrun, and out pace. It has time, and time reveals persistently. It may start as an uneasy feeling or maybe giddy excitement. It may be as simple as a statement made without thinking. But, truth will have its day.

It’s not always popular, that old minion, Truth. It holds its own and doesn’t care for opinion. It has no filter and no social graces. It has no one that it must answer to. It answers to itself and that it what Truth abides by, itself. Truth is not always invited to the parties and the get-togethers. But it is there, nevertheless, with a smile on its face.

Truth is the only friend to trust. It is the only friend that will not hold back, not give in. It will not abide ignorance or arrogance. It will not smile when a frown is called for. It will not worry about yours or my feelings. It will simply be and it expects no less from its friends, which are few.

We can lie and Truth knows it. We can turn away, and Truth remains. We can hide, but Truth will not come looking. It simply waits because it knows that one day we will need it to be what it is.
