I agree with your pleas. Lisa. Life is hard enough without others judging us without knowing who we are or what we have been through. Most have no idea of what life is like for anyone but themselves. The less variety of experiences a person has awareness of, the more likely for them to judge others in ignorance. Thanks for sharing something we should all think about, my dear friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Another great poem Lisa. I love the lines, ‘Please don’t judge my travelled footprints/ footprints you have not seen or heard’. Lovely! Thank you for sharing.

Good Morning Christina. Hello. I am so very sorry for this late response. I've been away from the computer and poetrysoup. It is I who thanks you for such a gracious and generous review and commentary to which I do not take for granted. May we all be kind to one another and respect each other's footprints and life's travels. Have a wonderful morning and day. Take Care (smile)

He must be a stalker to imitate your movements. Nice one.

Awesome poetic admonition Lisa. No one truly knows our pain of heart but us and God. Let no man (or woman) be the judge
