Here Lives Truth (a poem)

Here Lives Truth

By Denise D. Hiers

Here Lives Truth.

The thing that people like to hide.

That which the deceitful covers with lies.

Where love and honesty always abides.

Here lives truth.

The thing the wicked hates to hear

But the righteous who hears it rejoices and cheers

And the one who receives it holds it near

Here lives truth.

The thing that many fight to resist

The reason why the lies exist

But it will always stand and persist

Here lives truth.

The thing that people hoped had died.

But the truth can never die for it is life

And the one who has it will always abide

Here Lives Truth.
