Always Be True

Always Be True
by Paul McCann

Virtues are the treasures , some can’t find ,

like truthfulness and a peace of mind .
The big question is what have you got ,

the truth is , there’s no answer to that,

If all that you want is based on greed
then you’ll not see what you really need .
Fame or fortune , importance or pride
will always leave you unsatisfied .

What you really need is honesty ,

forget the rest , truth will set you free .
Don’t lie to yourself when you can see

why your life’s a mess and you’re angry
Tranquillity is when we’re in touch
with the truth that lives in all of us.
Respect is something you cannot buy ,

once you have it hold your head up high .
