    Isn't it capital "T" Truth? All things change perspective when held up to the light of a new day. I absolutely love the deep thought you put into writing this poem and your source of inspiration.

    For me it takes many nights of mourning, but joy does eventually return, and it is welcomed with open arms. rcj
