Woe is me

Woe is me, Woe is me
The rafter in my own eye
forbids me to speak of 
the redwood tree in yours
From this pain, there is no release
suffer I must, in total silence
Woe is me, Woe is me

    Wow - that is a hard fact of life - to know that we lack the moral authority to point out the faults in others due to our own limitations. Well penned JoanMarie!

    Thank you Vicky for viewing my write and for your insightful and encouraging commment. Just curious, Did you like & understand the comparison between the rafter and the redwood tree, and what I was trying to convey when I compared the rafter in my eye verses the redwood tree in the other persons eye? I'm just curious to know whether or not that point was conveyed in this write. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you once again, JoanMarie
