Do You Know Me?

Do you know me?
Do you think you know me?
I think not,
you have misjudged.
Do you wish to know me?
Do you want to know me better?
I will give you that chance,
Because, I don’t want to misjudge you.
You can accuse, cast doubts and be unfair,
but unless you truly know
don’t ever judge.
It isn’t becoming of you.
So, before you accuse
or take a tone or stance
please compile the facts
and try to understand.
I put my honesty out there
for all to see.
Have you looked?
Do you care to try?
My integrity remains true
as I know who I am
and will admit when I’m wrong.
Do you know me, now?

Lena Townsend June 12, 2008 at 1:07 PM I do not personally know you in the physical sense however I sense that you are very sensitive, intuitive, talented(this one I know), romantic and loving. I think that you offer all of these openly and honestly as a person and through your writing. I feel that we have a connection in the spiritual realm to all of our friends here at the soup. Many happy blessings to you. Love your writing. Smiles from Lena "Lolita"

Kristin Reynolds June 12, 2008 at 5:49 AM Well, I for one can see your heart is true, honest, loving, compassionate, a great Dad, faithful husband, and strong in your convictions...do I know you? I do through your writing, hearts seem to shine between words, you see, I see you! Love Kristin XO

Sharon Winter June 12, 2008 at 5:44 AM I have a huge dislike for people who judge. As if they are better for some reason. Perhaps, they are so insecure, they do it to make themselves feel better. I don't get it, and I never will. Sadly, I know too many. Love, Shar
