~Judge me not~

Judge me not

by the color of my skin.

Only what counts most,

who I am within.

Judge me not

If I am poor.

Be my friend

I wish no more.

Judge me not

By what I wear

For all I need

Is you to care.

Judge me not

cause me no pain.

For tears will fall

Like gentle rain.

So always remember

I am a true friend

Through the good and bad

Till the very end.
