- Show Me Your Face -

Do not hide your face
                                    Let me see your beautiful eyes
                                          Do not hide your tears
                                          Let me wipe them away
                                         Do not hide your wounds
                                             Let me comfort you
                                            You should know that
                                             you are not alone 
                                    Do not be subdued by falsehood
                                          jealousy and backstabbed
                                       Raise your head and be proud
                                       Show me your face your grief
                                   No one has the right to judge others
                                   They must sweep for their own door

They must sweep for their own door to have the right to judge others, and most that judge, do not sweep. Like much of your verse, it's quite hopeful, content. :) w

Some people do hide themselves away just from fear of being judged. A thoughtful and kind write Anne. Hopefully it will give people the courage and insiration they need. And yes for others to sweep their own door. Take care, Richard
