All For Good



I judge no one, except myself
And I can be quite mean
In thoughts that are so very stealth.
The light of day not seen.

Some say that I am grumpy when
I start to criticize
The little things in life, but then
They do not realize

My criticizing nature is
Reflecting of my past
That probably needs analyses
Of why hope did not last.

But it was not so long ago
I finally understood
That lack of love is hard, although
God used it all for good!
