    JUDGE NOT

    I am not asked by God to judge the actions of all men.
    Or force them to decide between what’'s right or wrong for them.
    I am not asked to make the choice of how each soul shall live.
    Or make sure every one I meet accepts what God will give.
    I am not asked to be the guard of whether folks are lost.
    Or if they'’ve sinned and need to pay the everlasting cost.
    The purpose for which God has made and put me in this place.
    Is simply that I share God'’s joy with others in this space.
    And tell the story of God'’s grace in actions, words, and deeds,
    By caring for the whole wide world; their worries, problems, needs.
    By reaching out, by touching lives in ways that dry the tears
    Of loss and sorrow, grief and pain and help reduce their fears.
    And so God'’s story I will try to live and show each day
    God’'s love I'’ll try to share with all by what I do and say.
    The only thing that I can judge is just the way I live.
    I only can control what I will feel and will believe.
    And God will be the judge of all when final judgment's given
    I can only trust my God will take me home to heaven.

    This is very True and You're doing a Good Job!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
