Resilience and Might
In the heart of our neighborhood, we found The poor, the sick, and the afflicted abound In shantytown, where love was needed most We sought to give, to comfort, to host
With open arms and a generous heart We brought food, blankets, a warm coat to impart For those in need, who had so little to claim We offered love, compassion, and a comforting flame
Beneath the cold, nasty night’s embrace We stood with hope, to bring warmth and grace To share in their burdens, their sorrows, their fears And offer a listening ear, wiping away their tears
In every face, we saw resilience and might Amidst adversity, they still held onto light So together we basked in love’s gentle glow As we built a bond that would continue to grow
For in finding the poor, sick, and afflicted in our midst We discover the power of love to persist To uplift, to heal, and to mend every soul Bringing warmth, comfort, making broken hearts whole
