LIE  FREE

He was lie free….

He could only say
what he knew as true.

When asked, “Why?”
“Why can’t you tell a lie?”

He would remain quiet.

He wouldn’t tell.

But about a dozen years
after both his parents died,
he finally told their story.
“I saw him lie to her and
I heard her lie to him -
and I said, “I’ll never do that
to anyone. It hurts too much.”
