It Is a Matter of Knowing Me

Those who do not know me Often make suggestions as to how I could improve How I should drive How I should raise my children How I should teach character education lessons How I should fold my laundry How I should clean my dishes How I should water my lawn Those who do know me...... Do not dare.

Kind suggestions are always welcomed, even a small piece of advice. Telling someone what to do, isn't the right way to handle it, in any situation. Whether they know you well or not. Congratulations Caren, on Poem of the Day. Hugs, Brandy

Congratulations on your POTD Caren. You have so correctly pointed out that it's pretty easy to make judgements about another person while not taking the time to understand why they do what they do! This poem is a good reminder to give a little grace and look for the positive! Blessings!
