With not a penny more to spare,
He pondered over the day's affairs.
Four pairs of eyes look up to him with care,
"We'll manage", he says as he dodges their stares.
A man of great character he truly is-
Honest, loving, kindhearted and generous;
To any man he'd give without hesitation.
He'd even borrow to lend whatever the situation!
To see another's sorrow he could not bear
His wealth, love and care he'd freely share.
And he would expect nothing in return, even if he's in need,
"You're too generous", they'd compain & they were right, indeed.
For when to this man fate decided to be unkind -
He was laden with troubles that crushed his heart and mind
Not one of those he brought to shore was standing there,
To comfort or help him; he stood with both hands bare.
Many around stood laughing at his misfortune,
His enemies, he knew, had a hand in his misery.
And although he carried his burden with such bravery,
It hurt him that the good he did, did nothing to change his fortune.
When I saw how helpless he was, I turned to my God Almighty
How was it that He chose to ignore the right this man did in his life?
How did He let it come to this? To save this man was not my God mighty?
I knew I questioned Him unwisely and pleaded with God to end his strife.
To this day I believe that the Almighty will work marvels for him
To those who laugh at him , I say, "You underestimate my God's strength!"
For kindness, mercy and generosity are virtues pleasing to Him
And I will see this poor man's faith rewarded at great length.
