Judging People

 By Walt Perryman

We cannot fool most little kids or dogs for very long,
They are a good judge of character and seldom wrong.

But when grown people judge people like people do,
We seldom know what that person’s been through.

We judge people from rumors we have heard,
Sometimes we judge them before they say a word.

So, before we judge someone on this beautiful day,
Let’s just not do it, because, that is God’s job anyway.

You may not agree with this and you might want to fuss,
When I say, “God, kids, and dogs are better judges than us”.
