Judge Me Not

When I was but a small child your words were painful to me.
You would tell the world " she will be just like the others wait and see" .
I often wondered as a child what those words could mean.
Then as I grew I knew that your words were judging me unseen.

I ask you now to please don't judge me by what you may have seen along life's road.
To judge another as you have me is hurtful and cold.
The words "she will be just like the others" haunted me in my dreams,
Until I would scream in my sleep to you that I am not at all what it seems.

I have held my head high and looked to God and ask why?
And he said " Don't cry my child they will see that those words do not apply"
So I have head my head high and took pride in all that I do.
For I have learned the lessons of life through and through.
And I have learned that God is my only judge with his heart of gold.

So please Judge Me Not for it will be your turn some day I am told.
