Book Excerpts from
Speak the Truth: Words, Thoughts & Desires 

 
 
Speak the Truth

 

Lies rolled off their tongues

bearing hurt and false witness

Conscience tucked away

blinded by lies and hard truth

evading discovery

 

Take off the blindfolds

Try seeking the highest truth

Your outlook will change

Truth awaits your arrival

and you can’t keep truth waiting

 

What is the real truth?

Just an outward expression

of an inside thing

The truth lies in all of us

Think it! Live it! Speak the Truth!

 

 

Grace

 

I am so amazed

by you and how you pulled me

through showed me favor

even when I didn’t deserve

your great gifts you still blessed me

 

Without you I was

so lost, alone and depressed

Just doing things wrong

Behind closed doors living life

in shame, denial and fear

 

But you still loved me

even when I didn’t act

right or heed your voice

It was you who carried me

and held me through the pain

 

Familiar friends let

me down and told my struggles

for people to judge

but you granted me your grace

an indispensable gift

 

You came for me when

treasured friends were too busy

No one except you

could do what you did for me

with unconditional love

 

I never knew true

friendship until I gave you

my heart that June day

All that I am and will be

is because of you and your

amazing grace…

 

Against All Odds

(Tanka)

 

It’s time to take charge

of your life and destiny.

Allow yourself to

stretch considerably.

Go against all odds and dream…
