JUDGE ME NOT

 

A package was left at my front door

The young lady I’d never seen before –

On the camera she appeared old,

With her baggy jeans and an afro –

But she was working with such delight,

And the sun was shining so bright!

No one knows about people it seems –

Their ambitions or their dreams . . .

On the package I find this little note –

Such beautiful words she wrote:

“I once was young and beautiful too,

And I still believe in the golden rule –

But like others I too have grown old,

So judge me not as you watch me go!”
