I Judge Not

I thought you were so very loving and kind Words so sweet like warm honey that blow my mind Our friendship was going along very fine Why did you change from good to bad You make me so very very sad I cried and you made me so upset and mad Now what can I possibly do You have made me so deeply blue Guess there will be no more seeing you How in the world can I ever mend I must learn how to live and bend After all the time I can just say amen Date Written:1/19/2021 Non-judgmental eye Contest Judged: 1/29/2021 Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker 10 Place

Congratulations Paula on your win. There is such a vivid simplicity in your lines telling your story of hurt and feelings of betrayal. Yet, through it all comes your resolution and your ability to say "amen." So nicely done. Best wishes and blessings!

Well said Paula. Some people give a good first impression but no one can put on an act for long. Sooner or later their true personality comes out. A good write. God Bless, JB

Oh, this piece pulls at my heart strings. I can only hope that you remember the whole of the true hero's tale, it is to overcome all challenges, including succumbing to and overcoming becoming evil
