We all have heard the proverb ‘Honesty is the best policy’. This proverb means that

honesty is the best option under any circumstance. Being honest can give you many
advantages over others. Generally, everyone likes to trust and maintain a relationship

with honest people. Sometimes it can get a little bit difficult, to be honest. Nowadays,
finding an honest person is very difficult due to the overuse of lies. Maybe that’s why

there’s so much hatred and failure around us. Being honest will not only define your
character, but it can also help you attain success in life and its different phases. So

today let us read a poem about honesty.

Honesty is the best policy which remains forever,

I want to live as an honest and truthful child forever;

Truth and honesty can lead us to happiness,

Dishonesty kills sincerity and leads to a mess.

It is tough to lead a life with honesty at times,

But the award of honesty will be given in paradise;

My mother says many may often lie and go,

But honesty will always help us grow.

Being honest, you may not get a friend who hugs,

But in the end you will be blessed with the right ones;

Honesty is the seed whose plant will grow a little later,

But its root goes in the land of goodness deeper and deeper.
