's'

One letter that follows,
  if added will deem

To separate the real  
  from what’s referenced or schemed

“Honor from honors,
   Love from loves

“Truth from truth’s,
   and Self from selves

“God from gods,
   Time from times

“Vision from visions,
   and Life from lives”

The singular, the plural
  what is, what is not

One small trailing letter
  —true meaning leaves off
