Don't Judge Too Hard
DON'T JUDGE TOO HARD
Pray dont find fault with the man who limps
Or sumbles along the road,
Unless you've worn the shoes he wears
Or stuggled beneath his load,
There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view,
Or the burden he bears, placed on your back,
May cause you to falter too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you've felt the blow,
That caused this fall or felt the shame,
That only the fallen know.
You may be strong but still the blows
That were his if dealt to you,
In the self-same way at the sef-same time
Might cause you to stagger too.
Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with words or stones
Unless you're sure yea doubly sure
That you have not sin of your own.
For you know perharps, if the tempters voice,
Should whisper as soft to you,
As it did to him when he went astray
T'would cause you to stagger too.
