My Truths

 

                         I am not a perfect girl,
            and so often I fail with the truth; 
I thrive for sincerity, honesty, integrity, openness and for genuineness,
and know what my wisdom gathered says about being truthful
                         And I know right and wrong,
I know what I have read in the Bible scriptures;
but sometimes I have lied to protect another persons soul.
      Have said that I didn't cry when I definitely did,
            denied my biggest fear and deep hidden secrets;
                          and the life mistakes-   I made.
Yes, a thing is either true or it is not.
but my spiritual self and soul wavers on this often;
       for sometimes the truth is hurtful
                         like when my mother asked-  Will I die ?

Sara Kendrick Date: 10/15/2024 1:09:00 PM Yes, sometimes answering a question truthfully can be hurtful for both parties involved but sometimes the subject needs to be discussed. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 10/18/2024 7:53:00 AM Sara, thank you for the comment, yes sometimes the truth is important to tell, but sometimes, the truth will not change the outcome except to hurt a person. I guess each situation must be thought about before speaking, love Constance

Reason A. Poteet Date: 10/12/2024 6:27:00 AM True words written so boldly, so honestly on the part of the poet. You boil it down to loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. And in Proverbs 6, God mentions the sin of lying two times in the same passage. Lying is wrong even when the truth is painful; fine lines must be drawn. Check Soup Mail.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 10/11/2024 10:56:00 AM Dear Constance, It is hard not to tell little white lies occasionally to protect someone. I suppose in times of war, there are probably many lies told by the persecuted people. I loved reading your poem because it is such a great question. God knows all, and He knows our hearts. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 10/12/2024 10:20:00 PM Daniel, thank you so much for the great comment and compliment, I believe God know all also, blessings Constance

John Read Date: 10/11/2024 10:09:00 AM No one is perfect i admit I've lied in the past to protect a loved one, God understands he knows we're only human. Have a nice evening Constance.

Suzette Richards Date: 10/11/2024 5:38:00 AM Yes, lying to protect someone else's soul, has a ring of truth about it. Sometimes we carry heavier on the burden of other people's actions than our own. A perfect soul- bearing write, Constance. Hugs, Su Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 10/12/2024 10:22:00 PM Suzette, thank you for the compliment, yes, the layout is on my contest description page, hope you enter a poem, love Constance Suzette Richards Date: 10/12/2024 9:49:00 AM Ah, I see that your latest contest is based on this. :) Suzette Richards Date: 10/11/2024 5:40:00 AM I love your poetic design. May I have a summary of it? I would like to give it a go.

Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/10/2024 7:31:00 PM They say if you don't want to hurt someone, don't lie, just don't answer. Like you, I have found it easier to give comfort. At least, I never have to answer "will I die". More so, with age, I will probably have to ask it for myself. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 10/12/2024 10:26:00 PM Hilda, my mother asked me that question, I knew the answer but could not say it, so I lied (I think she knew the answer too) she only smiled at me, thank you for the comment, love Constance
