stones and things

Let the one who has never sinned
Cast the first stone

Am I sometimes 
The one 
Who casts the first stone of judgment?

Lord forgive!

Am I sometimes 
The one 
Who considers another "weird"
If they're not like me?

Lord forgive!

Am I sometimes 
The one
Who condemns
Even when I don't know the details
Of another one's journey?

Lord forgive!

Am I sometimes 
The one 
Who has unrealistic expectations of others
Expecting a kind of perfection 
That I know I'm not capable of?

Lord forgive!

Help me to see 
With your eyes
To understand with your heart

Help me remember 
That I've got too many faults
Of my own
To worry about someone else's 

Lord forgive!
