Judge Me Not
In passing judgment on my character
Be not influenced by appearance,
Or by my surname;
Or for things perceived done or left undone,
Or perhaps words said in haste or left unsaid.
Neither judge me for those many knockdowns
That life may have inflicted upon me;
Let my true character be determined
Not by times knocked down,
But in whether I attempted to rise from my latest.
