Truth like the sun

Not everything is good and true,
But there is something good and true
In everything.
And truth is like the sun,
Or that annoying ringing in the ears,
You can shut it out,
But it doesn't go away.
People often stumble over the truth,
Pick themselves up and go on about their business
As if nothing had happened.

Thanks, Ilene. Yes, I've been taking a little break.
