Rebuilt by My will

Funmiwrites

~~~Rebuilt by My Will~~~

 

I have watered my plants,  

Yet when I thirsted for comfort,  

The skies remained still.  

 

I have fed my animals,  

With hands both tired and kind,  

Yet they never once fed me.  

 

I have helped the needy,  

With my last, without regret.  

Yet when I grew weary,  

No one came to help.  

 

I have carried burdens  

That were never mine to bear.  

I stood firm in silent battles,  

Yet none stood near to care.  

 

In the coldest night, I gave warmth,  

Lit candles in the dark—  

But I was wrapped in shadows,  

And none brought me light.  

 

Still, I kept on going,  

Not for praise or to be seen,  

But because love is not a ledger,  

And kindness is no debt to owe.  

 

Though the world stays silent,  

And my humble back bears every load,  

I will keep walking as a giver.  

With every step I take, I’ll give.  

 

I’ll plant light along the road,  

Feed the hungry animals,  

Water the dying plants—  

And be the Funmilayo I was born to be.

      A lovely write and even lovelier message of charity and the art of giving in the true sense where nothing is expected in return. Commendable and a lovely write a fave
