‘Keep it real, Let it come from the heart’

Lay the hard words and conflict down

to the ears that need the hearing


Lead with the chalice of your heart 

Make kindness the way 

of uncomfortable truths


Even in the stun of betrayal 

What needs saying must get said

There is not a way around some hurts 


They come with an unexpected pierce

In the why would you confront That

In the who made you the righteous one


Coming at it from the backdoor

Makes no comfort for the giver or receiver

Not even a gentle knock at the front door


Gives ease to what rises to be said

Trust leaves the Doors open for entrance

The ‘real’ might lock the door for awhile


Action gives consequences

To the heart of it in the lay down

In the need for what needs saying


Keep it real, Let it come from the Heart

Doubt will not be your friend

Lead with Love.
