Conscience Calling

by Debi Pick Marquette

Morals, Values or Principles Poem Contest Winner 


How can you say that someone's not real? 
Can you look in their soul and feel what they feel?

If you watch how they act, will that give you a clue?
If they see all you've done, does that mean they know you?

Does a different opinion make you a judge?
Does self righteousness, make you not want to budge?

When you turn on your tv and watch all the NEWS
In five minutes' time, have you formed all your views?  

While spreading the gossip with negative smears
Is your intention to impress all your peers?

All have been guilty, there are none without sin
Open your heart, and let the positive in

Take a look in their eyes and see what they see
Then peek in their heart and see their debris 

Perhaps you should walk a mile in their shoes
As you live their life, your ego may bruise 

I know we are human and we all get uptight
But some seem to grumble from morning to night

I'm truly not blameless; I've voiced my opinion
But my eternity, is based on submission


Keep looking for good and you will find good
Perhaps you will find, you misunderstood 

Yet telling someone, what they want to hear
Is also dishonest and not being sincere 

It can be confusing to someone who needs
Advice from a friend, who can help them succeed

Keep your cup full; fill one who is empty
You will be amazed how you'll always have plenty

We all need God's Love and Guidance each day!
Humility's a gift that He gives as we pray!
