DO NOT JUDGE

No one knows the sorrow
That is in another’s heart.
However well we know them,
However much we care.
Some cloistered spot we see not,
Therefore we can never judge.
Always show an understanding
That will let them know you love,
Care so deeply that you suffer too.
Just be there for them everyday
But do not condemn or judge
Each action, or word they speak.
They will know that you’re a friend,
A friend that is strong and true,
A friend who may not love the deeds,
But truly loves them for who they are.
