JUST TO BE TRUE.

By Anonymous

I CARE not for triumphs and glories of earth, Let them be many or let them be few, Of all that life offers, the one thing of worth Is just to be true.
The world is so hollow with pretense and sham When the poniard of honor pierces it thru, That I pray I may seem never more than I am, But just to be true.
In the effort to conquer, be strong and be free In all that I hope and in all that I do, Whatever confronts me, the one thing for me Is just to be true.
To the friends that I love wherever I go, Let them be old or let them be new, The best I can offer, the best can bestow, Is just to be true.
And often I think when the heavenly day Its glories shall ope to my wondering view, Forgiven my sins if at last I can say, I have been true. —Anonymous.
