Do not judge me by the color of
my skin, just because it's different from yours.
No matter what color I may be on
the outside, inside I'm the same as you.
Do not judge me by the style of
clothes I choose to wear.
It is not the clothes a person
wears that makes them who or what they are.
Do not judge me by the company
I keep just because you may not approve of them.
No matter what type of crowd you
may find me in,
I am my own person, responsible
for my own actions.
Do not judge me by the places I
go and the places you don't go.
In my mind and heart it is better
to go where you want to be
than a place where you don't want
to be.
Do not judge me by what I drink
nor the foods I choose to eat.
It is not what goes in through
my mouth, but what the heart allows to come out.
Do not judge me by the way I may
act, just because to you it may seem to be a bit strange.
It's just the way The Creator made
me, and it's the only way I know how to be.
Do not judge me by the lifestyle
I choose to live,
just because it's far different
from yours,
because as sure as the days are
different from the nights
and the seasons are different from
each other, I, too, am different from you.
Do not judge me by what you have
and what I don't have,
because our blessings were not
meant to be the same.
Do not judge or criticize anyone,
for there are no perfect beings on Mother Earth.
We all make mistakes at some point
and time in our lives.
We should accept people for who
and what they are,
regardless of how different one
may seem or be.
We should all learn to live and
let live....love instead of hate....
help each other instead of hurting!
If you should ever get the urge
to judge someone, I suggest you stop...
take a good, long look at yourself
and the life you've chosen to live,
then ask yourself one question,
"Who am I to judge?"
However, once you've done this
and you still feel you have the
RIGHT to judge others,
let me be the first to congratulate
YOU for being PERFECT!
