Honesty can be that one gift received, <br />To be quickly unwrapped to wear. <br />With a daring that is flaunted. <br />And exposing it to everyone, <br />To prove a truth living within... <br />Exists and is shown everywhere. <br /> <br />Unfortunately... <br />Not everyone welcomes this gift to receive. <br />With a keeping it under wraps. <br />To pack away in one's attic. <br />Or... <br />Stored in one's basement. <br />To leave it frozen in a freezer, <br />With a thawing no one will ever see at all. <br /> <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />Some prefer to keep frozen, <br />Never to thaw. <br /> <br />Honesty can be that one gift received, <br />To be quickly unwrapped to wear. <br />With a daring that is flaunted. <br />And exposing it to everyone, <br />To prove a truth living within... <br />Exists and is shown everywhere. <br /> <br />But, <br />Left corrupted... <br />A shocking honesty can awe. <br />To be abducted. <br />Shocking honesty can awe. <br />With none conducted. <br />A shocking honesty can awe. <br />And... <br />Leaving it to freeze, <br />Never to thaw. <br /> <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />A shocking honesty and truth can awe. <br />Some prefer to keep frozen, <br />Never to thaw.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
