If you are born a wealthy man, <br />Never talk ill of the beggar; <br />If you are bred in poverty, <br />Don’t curse the rich in power; <br />Ask God to change your fate or state; <br />’Tis God who judges all. <br /> <br />If you are born talents great, <br />Never look down upon those without; <br />If you are born an idiot, <br />Pray God to give you better brains; <br />Don’t curse yourself; don’t curse others; <br />’Tis God who judges all. <br /> <br />If you are born of good parents, <br />Don’t sneer at the orphans in streets; <br />If you are born a bastard child, <br />Don’t take to acts of crime and vice; <br />God has a plan for everyone; <br />’Tis God who judges all. <br /> <br />If you remain a virgin good; <br />Never make fun of those who can’t; <br />If you have turned adulterous, <br />Don’t run down those who are chaste; <br />God loves / redeems each soul He made; <br />’Tis God who judges all. <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 5-21-2000<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tis-god-who-judges-all/
