Truth - For Older Children

Truth is something humans seek,
    But also, sometimes, fear.
Truth is something we may need
    To render meaning clear.

​

Truth can cause you inner hurt:
    Are you sure you want to know?
But truth can bring you inner joy –
     A pleasing, warming  glow.

​

Truth can be concealed from sight  -
    Restrained within the soul –
But freedom from this prison cell
     Must surely be its goal.

​

Truth can be revealed, you know.
    Own up to things you’ve done.
Erase dark clouds that cause you grief
    And draw in summer’s sun.

​

Truth has a friend called honesty-
    Linked well to love and pride.
With these good traits within your life
     Let honour be your guide.
