Here is a poem I discovered that I wanted share:
We both agree the grass is green and the sky is blue,
but unless I wear your eyes, I'll never know the hue.
Unless I Wear Your Shoes
but unless I wear your eyes, I'll never know the hue.
We both agree that candy's sweet. I see it in your face,
but unless I wear your tongue, I'll never sense your taste.
We both agree it really hurts when one stubs a toe,
but unless I wear your feet, your pain I'll never know.
We both agree it really hurts when one stubs a toe,
but unless I wear your feet, your pain I'll never know.
It's funny how I think I know the other person's plight,
but unless I own their eyes, I do no see their sight.
When Jesus said, I should not judge, I think he tried to show:
I cannot tell your motives or know the things you know.
So I don't know if what you are is really good or bad.
I am not in your circumstance, nor had what you have had.
Instead of spending wasteful time comparing me and you,
I really should be tending to the things I have to do.
