S eeing bad in others and not in your soul A dding pain by accusations that are untrue N ot able to see the real motives, the goal C ondeming others, for what is in you T ime is the revealer of all hidden things I know that all things that go around come around M ercy is what a true soul to other souls brings O penly praising, without criticism's sound N ever think that "Holier than Thou" will do I dentity shows sooner or later in time O h, that you'd ask for a heart that is new U nderstanding that sinners ALL carry the grime S o sanctimonious are you, forgetting that we are all sinners all saved by grace Eileen

I will echo Yolanda: AMEN!!! Hey, I left you a soupmail and then I forgot one of the MAIN things I meant to ask you. WHO sent my poem to you??? (I fear I might not win in the contest because I did a love theme same as the poetess I was emulating. I did not want to be influenced at all, so I did not look at Teasdale's poem based on that first line until after I wrote my own. I might get marked down for doing a love poem. But I was really thrilled with what I came up with, so screw it. haha)

In the end we all need to take a closer look at ourselves and do our best not to be judgemental. At times I find it to be an almost insurmountable task.

:) Yes....I'm a silly goose. Delayed gratification was never my strong point. I write something....it need to post. I've been able to keep my latest poem for a day or two. I wasn't going to post, but then I said....Dark has a place too. Hugs
