Brilliant is the day
When honesty reins,
Devoid of doubt
Encircling us,
Without fear
Of that which cannot be seen.
Our world
Is filled with challenges,
Unforeseen
And lethal;
We count upon solid ground,
Firm beneath our feet,
And we yearn for honesty,
As seen within the eyes
Of those trusted in our lives,
And ending
In a warren strong and true .
Make me proud,
Loving all of that
Which is so,
But delude me not
With falsehoods,
Created for your show.
I am but a simple man,
Without need
For glitter or shine,
And I long to hold candor
Within my arms,
And to know that it is mine.
