When Truth Is Absolute

Personal Accountability

To accept one's faults

To own one's wrongs

To admit your choices are the reason things have gone wrong

*

This is the part, the beginning of

One who is learning how to properly love

*

First, begins admission of guilt

Contrition, confession, and correction rebuilt

*

A rare characteristic

A strong attribute

A character building trait that becomes absolute

*

Who can you rely on?

Who can you trust?

Who is willing to admit flaws and deny lusts?

*

Quite amazing is that person

Who admits what they’ve done instead of call out a diversion

*

Who keeps their promises in the face of all dangers?

And is not susceptible to convenient favors?

*

Is there someone that you know?

Whose conscience is one that continually grows?

*

On whose faithfulness and dependability can you rely?

On whose word and honor can you not deny?

On whose moral foundations can you continue to build?

*

One who is patient

One who is kind

One who is steadfast and loving to humankind

*

We are accountable for our mistakes

We are more than obligated to do what it takes

We are to make amends, correct our lies, trust in truth and there rely

*

How do we correct and mend it?

Be someone beyond sorry, and work to end it.

*

Strive to be one without hypocrisy

A pinnacle of truth and honesty

*

Can you imagine the certainty?

The self-assurance, the reliance, the surety?

*

What a world we would live in, if then

On everyone's word we could depend.
