The words we speak and plans we've laid, Are often just a masquerade, To hide away from folks we know The feelings we're afraid to show. We carry false veneers about, While truth and honesty lose out. But those who practice this deceit, Will someday find beneath their feet, The shaky ground of sham and lies. Perhaps too late they'll realize The imitation life they've led, In thought and deed, in things they've said, Has cheated them right from the start Of what we each know in our heart. There's freedom, satisfaction too, When basic values govern you. When you can meet with no disguise, The questions in each persons eyes And you can show in all you do, Sincerity means most to you!

Very good Betty. So many find it as easy to lie as to tell the truth. Joyce |

Your words are wise. It is easier for some people to hide inside a lie than to let others see the truth. Thanks for sharing. Debbie |

when we lie the only ones we deceive are ourselves enjoyed the read. "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

Dear Betty Lou, Loved the way you touched upon lies. So many people go through life without thinking how their actions may come back and smack them in the face. It's so much easier being truthful, as you will always feel at peace within yourself. Love, Patricia 'When you find a dream within your heart, don't ever let it go. |
