The truth never hides but glorifies
the pieces of a nation whole.
As peace repeats and hatred slides
out from beneath a sky that cries.
Though through the joy of painless tears,
hopes soar; holding tight throughout the years.
The fading of fear: unrecognizable.
A time of cheer: undeniable.
Here we stand, eye-to-eye,
seeing the same--comprehending lies.
I never lie, I never cry, and to tell a truth
I'll never die.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
