JUDGE NOT

Jo Emefo

I dreamed death came the other night.

And Heaven's gate swung wide;

With kindly grace, an angel ushered me inside.

And there to my astonishment

Stood folks I'd known on earth.

Some I'd judged and labeled,

As unfit, or of little worth---

Indignant words rose to my lips,

But never were set free;

For on every face showed stunned surprise--

No one had expected ME !
