Well might one stagger at the task-
Of judging right from wrong.
Or judging word craft good, or bad-
Critiquing someone's song...

Or weighing motivation-
Surmising from one's acts...
To whether he be justified-
Bereft of all the facts.

Or sifting love, to find it's sort-
Of Eros, agapeo...
Or even it's more noble sort...
The form that's called phileo.

To ponder? Aye, a noble task-
To know the world around us...
And leave each life we touch, more blest-
Than on the day it found us.
