My Truth Must Be Told

Dare I show others, what it is I see? A path one may take, to set themselves free. The words that I speak, should give them a clue, Open a doorway for them to go through. By offering others an explanation. Each one can see their part of creation. I will share with them the thoughts of my soul, To them the beauty of Love will unfold. Would I dare die with my song still unsung? Like a tower’s bell that's never been rung. Nay I say, for today I'll bare my soul. The story I’ve been given must be told. A tapestry of words, I'll share with thee, The essence of Truth that's been shared with me.

Thanks, Paula. So much fear, and so little faith. We all need to open up and let our authentic selves sing. Thanks for commenting and reading my poetry, Paula. Smiles ~ Hugs, Bill

The words of Jesus came to mind, "freely you have received, now freely give". Your words are such an encouragement to share the stories we have been given in life, and the truths we have come to understand. Thank you, Bill ~ John

We all seem to have our own view of truth; I like to share mine with the hope it helps others fine theirs. Of course, Jesus " I am the Truth..." Blessings my friend, and thanks for your kind comments on my poetry. Bill

loved the phrase "tapestry of words" In your poems you consistently "bare your soul" and tell your story. Courageous.

“ I will share with them the thoughts of my soul,To them the beauty of Love will unfold.” Love is the answer to every problem IMHO. Sharing is caring. A worthy message Bill. Blessings xxoo

I'm with you there, Connie. Without Love (God) there is nothing. I just wish more of creation would realize it. Write On! my friend, Bill
