The Watchful Plowman

ALAN W. THWAITES

The one who points reproachfully
And turns to ask,
Loosens his grip upon the plow
And leaves his task.

The eyes that watch reprovingly
Another's gait,
Forsake the landmark which would keep
The furrow straight.

Desire to shape another's way
Is unfulfilled.
Example leads; let others see
Your field well filled.
