Judging

Martha, believe these words from me,
I'm just as sorry as can be,
Your first unplanned and thoughtless act
Could bring such pain and that's a fact.

I'm sorry the jury found no way
To set you free that dreadful day.
May your judge look at whole of you
And rule that jail would never do.

I think it would be very sad,
If good weren't weighed against the bad;
For we'll all fail on Judgement Day
Unless God judges us that way.
