Without Judgements To Pass
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
A life that is lived being thankful.
And feeling this gift is a blessing.
With this to do remaining positive.
As best as one can.
Is to know those ups and downs,
Are not always around.
Since adjusting to changes,
Come to all of us to be found.
And yet with daily prayer and kept faith,
Done to recognize...
There will be obstacles to face.
To come from nowhere to anticipate.
Although prepared with faith,
If we choose to refuse doubt and negativity.
From our minds to remove,
Doubt and negativity as a choice to choose.
With this to realize,
No one lives each day without...
Something bitter to taste.
Heard to come out from their mouth.
To forgive it to remember,
All of us blessed with life to get given...
Are human beings created.
Reflecting our Creator.
'I don't know why or for what reason,
Sometimes I feel wicked and evil.
And other times,
I feel as if I am an angel with wings.
Wanting to hug and kiss my enemies.'
'And your point to make is what?'
'So tired I am of all that funky stuff.'
'I heard that.
And ridiculous it is,
Are those judgements we pass...
on each other as well.'
'I didn't say anything,
About my stopping judgements to pass.
That talent God gave me to keep.
And living without that ability to perform?
Would be a wasting of a skill.
I'm sure would not please God at all.
If I chose to leave this talent ignored.'
'Well...
Think about it.
Is living to pass judgement on others,
A reflection of God?
That's a hypocritical way of life to live.'
'Sure.
Go ahead and blame me for skills I have.
You wish you had and maybe more.
There is no need to be envious.
Or jealous of this talent.
Did you not say to me,
We are a reflection of our Creator?'
'Yeah, I said that.
But that does not mean,
Being hypocritical!'
'Oh?
So now you are trying to convince me,
You are a halo wearer...
Trumpet playing cloud walking angel?'
'Not at all.
Sometimes I too don't feel my best.
But I try not to pass judgement on others.'
'Good for you.
However...
Some of us were born with natural abilities.
Without trying to avoid,
Our God given talents and gifts.'
'You just want to argue.'
'AM I not,
A human being?
Make up your mind.
Today I feel I can have it both ways.
Is that okay?
Geeessshhh!
Afterall...
I had nothing to do,
With the creating of all this...
Here today to stay tomorrow confusion!'
