Judge me not by the colour of my skin
Nor by the colour of my eyes
Judge me not by the coarseness of my hair
Nor by the garden between my thighs
Judge me not by things that won't last eternity
If you must judge me
Judge me by the woman that's inside me
Judge me not by the sexiness of my curves
Nor by the sassiness in my stride
Judge me not by the fullness of my lips
Nor by my hips that like the ocean spread wide
Judge me not by things that only the eye can see
If you must judge me
Judge the woman that's in me
Judge me not because I don't look like you
Nor because my hair don't grow straight like yours do
Judge me not by the power of my voice
Nor because I've got a big butt, that's not my choice!
Judge me not by what I am physically
If you must judge me
Judge the woman
Within me

ReplyDeleteThis was very deep,most times the things that we see and use to judge women by ,are the very things that cause us to miss or never kno the real WOMAN inside....... Andrew
ReplyDeleteThat's true but I don't think we'll ever get to the point where physical things don't matter. Human nature I guess.
ReplyDeleteWomen are beautifully and wonderfully made,sometime we get caught up in the visiable beauty which the possess, that captivates us,but when it all said and done it's up to the person to be willin to look beyond the shell and she that woman inside,that is worth more than the one that meats the eye................Andrew
ReplyDeleteAgreed ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I wish both men and women could read and truly understand this. Men are not the only ones who misjudge women, but we as women also misjudge each other...
