Scrutinise the printed page.
Scan each line to check for
spelling errors, punctuation –
delete, omit or change.
Note down any little problems.
Is everything just right?
No comment made to say “Well done” –
a page without mistakes.
And some do see what others miss,
although all read the same.
So as we go through life, it seems,
reviewing situations,
how often do we make remark
“Well done, congratulations”?
And do we see what others miss
in someone that we meet?
Perhaps not quite the sweetest face,
but she has lovely feet.
Making judgements all the time,
can we all be just right?
