PASSING JUDGMENT
Do not judge me
before you have
walked in my shoes
Do not call me bad names
just because you so chooseYou have no understanding
of what I've been through
so please don't expect me
to be just like you.©drc 2005
[added later] ... it could be changed thus:
PASSING JUDGMENTDo not judge them
before you havewalked in their shoes
Do not call them bad names
just because you so choose
You have no understanding

so please don't expect them
to be just like you.

I know my poem was far from accurate...I don't have the experience to write it accurately, which I'm thankful for, of course. I was just releasing the pent up feelings that I had from thinking about it. But someday it will really happen and that's scary. Life is so unfair...you love and then you lose. On so many different levels.
Lol...sorry, I didn't mean to seem like I thought YOU were being critical...haha. (this could go on forever)...I just felt like it seemed presumptuous of me to try to identify with someone who had REALLY gone through a tragic experience like losing a parent...so I was just trying to disclaim it, I guess...in a manner of speaking. But no, I didn't take it as you being critical...don't worry about it.
Amen
They are both very good poems the first makes it seem more personall to your self, the second more like you are standing up for others, in the simple changing of a couple words the meaning of the poem changes quite a bit, but both are like I said before very good poems.
