Truthful



A noble, upright man is he

Who always speaks the truth; 

This priceless habit seek to form 

In sunny days of youth.

A lie will stain the tablets white

Of human souls with sin, 

And open wide the doors of hearts

For wee to enter in.

Your word should be a sacred thing,

And every promise made, 

Should be fulfilled with greatest care

As debt that must be paid.
