The Truth Poem by Frederick Nellist

The truth my heart embraced
is often hidden in mind
Dishonesty much rehearsed.

A gift struggles to hold fast
and promises abused
Where then lies the truth.

On the road to good intentions
the truth is often outpaced
My confused conscience aches.

False manoeuvres of man kind
are destined to die hard
Truth will never compromise.

Love and truth are a human bond
truth not always found wanting
while the love of God prevails.
