Vincit Omnia Veritas L
(Truth conquers all things)
Tom Wright

From Mom,
I became educated at an early age,
that the axe of truth oft times cut deep.
That chips would fly and scatter where they will,
always affecting others.
That the ultimate payment for every act,
good or bad, would always be consequences.
Better to endure these, whatever they be, for a short time,
than surrender the advantages found in truth forever.
Mom called it being responsible!
I call it being loved!
