A poem I wrote some time ago….
Sometimes things aren’t as they seem
Others an open book
And those times we shake our heads
To take a second look
On the surface without a clue
The crowd still often talks
And judge by what they think they smell
Wearing sneakers without socks
In blogs like this we share our lives
And offer just a peek
To what and how and who we are
A glimpse at what we seek
You and I so much alike
I think the sharing rocks
Yet everything is not how it smells
Wearing sneakers without socks
In this life we sometimes fail
For me I know that’s true
And if your honest with yourself
The same applies to you
Before I try to judge your heart
In your shoes I’ll take some walks
And realize I smell just as bad
Wearing sneakers without socks.
“Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.” Rom 2:1
Something like……don’t judge until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes? Great post Rocky….How true it is and how often we forget…to quick to judge others when we ourselves need to take a good look inside!
Hey! I think I used to own a pair of sneakers just like that! (Mine were pink though)

Great message in the poem!
Great repetitive line; Wearing sneakers without socks!
Yes, I agree, great message, and poem… I’ll add, sometimes we can’t even imagine what someone is going through, nor can we walk in their shoes. So, lots of Grace is needed between us all. :) Blessings
