Don't Judge Too Hard

Pray don't find fault with the man who limps,
Or stumbles along the road,
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled 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 neck,
Might cause you to stumble too.

Don't sneer at the man who's down today,
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused the 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 self-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 are sure, yea, doubly sure,
That you have not sins of your own.
For you know,
Perhaps, if the tempter's voice
Should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray
'Twould cause you to falter too.

Author Unknown

We are all human...
Don't judge too harshly,
Lest you be judged!
