Speak no shadow of a soul untrue,
For words once cast will circle you.
A lie may travel far and wide,
But truth walks slowly at its side!
The tale you twist, the blame you send,
Will find its way back in the end.
So, guard your tongue and let truth stay —
What you release returns one day!
Nicely put.
Or, as Mark Twain? is reputed to have said: "A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes".
A lie may travel far and wide/
But truth walks slowly at its side!
Love these words A, well done
