Pray, don't find fault with the man who limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view.
Or the burden he bears placed on your back
Might cause you to stumble too.

Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall or felt the shame
That only the fallen know.

You may be strong but still the blows
That was his if dealt to you
In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time
Might cause you to stagger too.

Don't be too harsh with the man who sins
Or pelt him with word or stone
Unless you are sure - yea, doubly sure
That you have no sins of your own.

For you know, perhaps,
If the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray
It might cause you to falter too.

~Author Unknown

....we must always remember, we don't know what sorrows others have, nor what their path has been....so always be kind to others...lest you be harshly judged.

Peace

These words say so much but yet at the same time is such a simple message, it is so simple,,, Walk a mile in my shoes before you judge me, and another one, Do unto others as you have done to you... How can you go wrong if you follow the golden rules of life......Thank you Jangel
