Upon Taking Offense
Blessed is the man
who does not take offense
I'm speaking in the present tense
There is no sitting on the fence
This poem will now take me hence...
An offense will make us stumble
Forget the bluster and the bumble
Our defense will surely crumble
In all things we must be humble
When we see another's error
Are we really all the fairer?
Look Within it will be clearer
Are we looking in a mirror?
When we see reflection's bust
Do we see lines? Perhaps some crust?
Being honest is a must!
What have
we
done
that
WE
can't
trust?
True of the bird as well the bee
We are
all
one cloth you see!
Self-assessment
makes you free!
This is true humility.

Yes. I could learn the lesson in this, too.
We're always learning always growing.
Let's stop fighting and look at ourselves.
1 Corinthians 13
I won't be reposting for a while. I want this poem to stay at the top of my site.
Thanks for understanding.
LOVE YOU *ALL*!!!
