Judge Not
Life has its share of valleys,
as well as a peak or two.
It’s easy to judge or assume
what people are going through.
Instead of becoming self-righteous
when someone is down and out,
remember back how you too felt
when problems began to sprout.
Only God knows the reasons why
people do the things they do.
So do not go around judging —
or you will be judged too.
Unless you are a perfect person
and live a life without sin,
don’t judge a person’s choices
or the battles that they’re in.
Rather, pray for them that struggle,
cast your love all about,
because in life you’ll never know
when it’s you that’s down and out.
