In The Light Of Truth  
  
there are two sides to every story
and secrets locked behind closed doors
but truth holds the power in glory
and in its magic settles the score

at times truth is shaded by lies
but it will beam the purest light
and covered by a thin disguise
its power will shine just as bright

you do not have to look for truth
radiant it will come to find you
shining its power it will be proof
and only then will they know it true

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

Wonderfully said, absolutely!!!

We, mere humans, can cuss and discuss, opine and argue...the truth is still the truth and it will reign in the end.  I love the line about "truth will find you."  That could be a threat, yet a lovely promise, too.

very nicely put, Helen, I couldn't agree with you more!

Lovely words, truth, do we ever really know?
