Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Couplet

Daring To Compare Modern Life To Job

DARING TO COMPARE MODERN LIFE TO JOB


If you think it’s disrespect

And to me you do object

Remember each soul has its grief

Being judge is like a thief



How can one soul judge another

One will grieve the loss of mother

One will long for dying child

Neglected  sister has gone wild


Each soul bears its crying pain

As ‘neighbors' keepers' we remain

Here to comfort those who suffer

Here to be their earthly buffer


As small children this we learn

but as we age so deftly spurn---

We're called to view each suffering face

And put ourselves in each one’s place.
