You judge me by your senses given
The voice I use and word I write
Then by the look I give in sharing
By my thoughts on what is right

You’ll learn to trust when test is over
But ever still a wall remains
High enough to hide some secrets
That the mind forever claims

Forever we do inner question
Seek a smile and friendly hand
Want to give where warmth is waiting
Just want someone to understand

I look at you and make my judgment
No different am I from the rest
But treat you honest in the process
For that seems to work the best

I see that sparkle in your eyes
The smile within you cannot hide
We share a trust that friendship makes
And then reveal our human side

kind and thoughtful words that most all of us
need to remember and live...those who live
in houses of glass should not throw a rock.

"I look at you and make my judgment
No different am I from the rest"

The difference is that you know it and only once it's known can it be changed - and you change it here through your words.  Enjoyed!
