No Judgement
We are not the best judge of our worth
God’s attention is for this alone
That we find our vocation on the earth
Clearly some are born with a grave curse
Others have been keen to cast sharp stones
We are not the best judge of our worth
Accidents of time, of place, of birth
Lack of vision,nowhere to call home
Disrupt the virtue of our life on earth
Important it may be to enjoy mirth
To laugh at our pretensions, grin and groan
We are not the best judge of our worth
There is no linear scale. we should not stress
Some may discern value we don’t know
Acceptance is the aim of life on earth
And when we’re stricken by a heavy blow
Inside our little hearts is one who knows
We are not the best judge of our worth
We must love and work to heal the earth
