The Judgment
The forest in front of me
looks deep, dark, and cold
As I begin me wald toward it
it seems to surround me
I embrace the fear
like a child clenching her doll
As I walk deeper into
this mysterious place
I come to realize all its beauty
The tree are filled woth sounds
birds chirping their love songs
Squirrels chasing up and down branches
I come upon a small creek
to fing to my great surprize
a mother deer and fawn drinking
What a beautiful site to see
I begin to theink to myself
had I turn and ran at first sight
I would have missed such wonders
From outside it looked scary and cold
the inside so much more
Don't ever judge something
from its outside appearance
for you may miss the miracle within
