Some folks tend ta judge men by stories they here tell, but ya just might find he's more than kind, if'n ya knew him very well. Ta know his ever notion, his dreams and his dismays, then ya just might think'em different than ya thought'em yesterday. cause when ya get ta know a fella, know his talents an' his woes, well ya tend ta treat'em better than ya did when you were foes. An it's an easy world we live in if'n a helpin hand ya lend, ta not make war an still love more, than just yer next'o' kin. So I rather choose ta putter 'round lifes byeways fair'n'square, an do my best ta help the rest, when they are in despair. For it's a sad'n'meager neighbor who has no sugar ta loan, an he who jeers at all his peers, sits at home alone. Yes- it's an easy road we wander if'n we only travel true, an take the time ta spare a dime, an help some fella thru. So I tell myself each morning that contented I will be, if'n on this day, someone will say, a kindly word ta me. For all to many times I've heard somebody claim, that mans a nut, an he's worth as much, as dew drops in the rain. An if'n by chance that man I met, well there's a very good chance I'd find, a true'n'noble gent, who's heart is mostly kind. So I judge not by covers, for the heart it does not show, I'd rather claim no prejudice stain, of the man I do not know.smokin
