When we look upon another
We do not know their sorrow.
Within they may be wondering
How to face tomorrow.
And then again when we see smiles
Happiness may not abide.
The smile may be a cover-up
For fear and aching deep inside.
The heavy burdens people have
May cause them not to act just right.
It's best to show some patience,
Not to judge them or to be uptight.
To "judge" a person hastily
Is a sign of pride and error.
It really would be better
If we bless them with a prayer.
"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them....."
Matthew 7:29 KJV
