Strengthen The Weak

Let there be love among you all,
For where there is love, peace reign like rain.
Be your brother's keeper and assist one another,
Strengthen the weak and the poor among you.
Do not leave them at the cross road
To gnash their teeth in tears.

Uphold the poor and the weak ones,
Make them strong so that they could
Follow you in the race of life.
Love them like you love your flesh;
Do not reject them because of their plights
They are part of the Universe.

We all were once weak and poor,
At one time or the other in life.
We were poor and needy at birth
Naked, we come into this world with
No one helping us except God, the creator.
He then put us in the hand of our parents.

Malala fought for the education of the girlchild,
Nelson Madela fought for the freedom of the blacks,
What would you like to be remembered for,
The problem you created or the ones you solved?
Strengthen the motherless around you,
Touch a soul and heal the world.

Observe the right of the disables;
Tend to the laws of nature and live,
Help the weak ones around you,
Assist them to carry their heavy burden;
The journey of life is the shortes of all
Defend the fatherless and the motherless.

Protect the orphans in the street of pains,
Be their voice and their sight of sight,
Voice out for the timid voiceless around you.
Do not hold back good things from them
Because God had made you because of them,
Strengthen the beggars, the needy and the blinds.

Be the moses of their time,
Be the isaiah of their generation,
Act as the Joshua of the weak.
Nevre abandon them at the altar of sin,
Feel their pains as if you wear their shoes,
Do not send them away whilst you have
What they are looking for to live.

Strengthen the weak around you,
Love them like you love yourself,
Wipe away their tears in love
Give them the holy kiss of life
For love is the greatest law of all.
