My Truths

                        My truths are firm but simple.
            They are etched within my heart and soul
to lead my mind to follow every step- and honor
what I feel is true; what I think is kind.
                        Most times my mind needs balance
with heartfelt love and soulful prayers twinned around each truth:
my love for God, Family, Country, the World, and Life.
     God keeps me centered- blessed to walk a worthy path. 
            Family is my strength for love and purpose;
                        Country- my patriotic feeling of belonging; 
Our World- my constant prayers for true unity and peace.
            And my Life- that these powerful truths will guide me
      each day, week, month, and year;
                        that I will leave this life- feeling whole.
