For you I have a simple wish
Not unkind or otherwise
Just a wish for your entire life...
I wish you honesty.
Honesty for you between your
Own heart and mind
And also the hearts and minds of others...
I'll wish that you believe what
You hear yourself say
And trust that others will do the same ...
For you, your acts will admonish
Your thoughts
If what you say is really what
You feel ...
In years to pass I shall remember
My honesty to you and yours to me
I shall wonder if you were honest
With me ...
If I take long in deciding
I shall add together what it cost me
Honesty is free but priceless
So what we shared is beyond
Human value to me ...
If in your own mind you believe
You were honest with me
We shall part as friends
If not
I wish you honesty!
Not unkind or otherwise
Just a wish for your entire life...
I wish you honesty.
Honesty for you between your
Own heart and mind
And also the hearts and minds of others...
I'll wish that you believe what
You hear yourself say
And trust that others will do the same ...
For you, your acts will admonish
Your thoughts
If what you say is really what
You feel ...
In years to pass I shall remember
My honesty to you and yours to me
I shall wonder if you were honest
With me ...
If I take long in deciding
I shall add together what it cost me
Honesty is free but priceless
So what we shared is beyond
Human value to me ...
If in your own mind you believe
You were honest with me
We shall part as friends
If not
I wish you honesty!
Margie...what a wonderful poem and what an extraordinary wish to make..HONESTY.
ReplyDeleteMargie,
ReplyDeleteI really like this poem. Honesty is a very valuable trait. Honesty is being truthful to ourselves and then we can share it with others.
Priceless.
Margie....great poem, honesty is more than a trait my dear friend, it is who we are and without honesty we are nothing of substance. I love how you think my friend, you have honest thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya......:-) Hugs
"Honesty" one of my favorite words.
ReplyDeleteHard to arrive at by many, as it is part of a person's "integrity" of character.
Honesty: I like to believe that everyone is honest, yet. statistics indicate otherwise... sad, isn't it?
thanks for writing about it
♡
"I'll wish that you believe what you hear yourself say". That is huge. I find that so many people say things but are not actually listening to what is coming out of their mouths. What we say has an effect on so many people. And then comes back to us.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely my dear MArgie.
ReplyDeleteYes never depart if not with honesty, I like that. Sweet words,compromise,wish and farewell...
Love it :)
wonderful....honesty is pure!
ReplyDeleteThat's so true Margie. When we separate, we should leave in honesty. For a Lie will never let us continue in peace.
ReplyDeleteLove this one!

Hello Margie,
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. Thank you for sharing this poem with me.
Wishing you a nice evening,

HI MARGIE -
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem of wish and heartfelt sentiment -
When I finally got honest with myself many years back and brought my truths to light my whole life became purposeful - honesty, without a doubt, saved my life.
Love to you
Gail
peace
Honor - Honesty - Truth - each a sacred vow - words of Spirit and Light - Thank You dear Margie for all you so beautifully express.
ReplyDeleteI believe honesty with oneself is timeless...with others it subject to time....so i think its foolish to bother about another's honesty,
ReplyDeleteDon't take it otherwise Margie....i just shared my thoughts...I really damn care about the honesty of others!
But, i really liked the poem and the mind that shines through :)
wishes,
devika
The poem is really nice:)

Hello dear Dulce
So glad you liked that part.
Never should we part from a friend without honesty...that is what I believe.
I had a friend that parted from me a long time ago and she was so dishonest with me...hence this poem.
Loved that you loved this poem...thanks so much for the kind words.

Hi A S
ReplyDeleteSo nice having a visit from you again.
I'm doing ok...not great as my knee still is causing me a lot of pain but it could always be worse...I tell myself that every day.
I probably may have to do surgery on my knee as it's not getting any better.
Many thanks for visiting and the nice words on my poem.
Margie :)
An unusual wish and yet such a beautiful and important one. Well said Margie.
ReplyDeleteHonesty is not always so easy is it? Poets must have a connection, as I Placed my emotions to words I also could not hold back the tears. Thank you for kindness and your supportive words.
ReplyDeleteKeep Smiling!
Rachel
