Judge? Or Judged!
by Diana Isham

One day I was pondering
On my life's trials
When my mind started wandering
Over ill-traveled miles;

Miles that have grown
From my birth, to this time,
Gathering seeds I've been sowing
Since childhood's climb.

I thought on the times
I've met sister or brother,
Then my narrow mind chimes
'There must be another!'

Another so 'good' (at least in my mind);
Someone I'd rather call sister or brother.
They just seem to be 'so far behind
In qualities' I'd look for to be in another.

So rather than 'stall'
And 'tarnish my name'
I put up a wall
I'll call judgment game.

Although the game
Doesn't seem to be much.
Because in my mind's frame
'I'm just getting in touch.'

In touch with the things
That I think in my mind,
Are precisely what bring
Me'to my own kind!'

But while I am grudging
In this state of mind
I find I'm not judging
The fact I've gone blind

Blind to the fact
I really should see
That good judgment is lacked
In none other than me!



Dear Friend,

I would be tremendously appreciative if you
would you please take the time to let me know where and what posting or publication you will be posting or publishing it in.

May God bless you with a wonderful day!

I am a lover of good literature and music and am a writer of such (or at least I try to be).

Among other things, I love to read and write poetry. 

I love people, and hope through my writings and otherwise, to be an influence for good in the lives of those whom I meet and come in contact with.
