Judge Me

For those that have walked in my shoes

for those that jeer, shout abusive boos,

judge me, vent anger, throw the first stone

all I have done is loved, sympathy shown,

for those that have committed no sin or harm

for those that want peace, willing to disarm,

judge me, take me to task, prove me guilty 

all that will be found is goodness still in me,

for those that feel hatred due to my actions 

for those that want to provoke bad reactions,

will never judge me, only those without sin

those with love in their hearts, let trials begin,

for those that love to hate and mercy refuse

walk a few miles in my well worn shoes.
