Digging For Truth

DIGGING FOR TRUTH
IS A HARD THING TO DO
YET ONCE IT'S DONE
WALK IN THE SUN

DOING THE HARD THING
OFT TIMES IS AVOIDED
DEFINATELY POSTPONED

MANY OBSTICALES MAY PUT ONE BACK
BACK IN THE DARK
OF TEARFUL
FEARFUL NIGHTS

NIGHTS FULL OF DRY TEARS
THE DAYS CANNOT FILL THE YEARS
ONE THINKS DEATH MUST COME
SO FIND THE TRUTH FOR A BATTLE WON

PAINFUL YES
YET ONLY IN THE LOSING
HEARTS DON'T REALLY BREAK
HEARTS TAKE A LOT OF BRUSING
   (C)...CATHERINE BUCHNER 2012
