Truth
by Ben Jonson
Truth is the trial of itself,
And needs no other touch;
And purer than the purest gold,
Refine it ne'er so much.
It is the life and light of love,
The sun that ever shineth,
And spirit of that special grace,
That faith and love defineth.
It is the warrant of the word,
That yields a scent so sweet,
As gives a power to faith to tread
All falsehood under feet.

Our family motto is "In faith, truth."
Our family verse is Proverbs 17:17 - "A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity."
I am thankful for my friends. I hope all of you have friendships that are true and lasting. They are worth more than gold! - With love, Rachel XO
