The Unknown Help
POETRY FORMAT, 6 Dec 2021
Dr. Ravi P. Bhatia – TRANSCEND Media Service
Unknown to you, who comes to help you,
Is (s)he a messenger of God
Is she your friend from your previous life
Or just a Good Samaritan
A careful businessman
Who sees an opportunity
When others think of unity
I know not
I acknowledge with debt her deeds
That takes me out of my difficulties
Can I be of help to this person
How can I when I know not her identity
Not to worry, it is a sign of good community
To help her out of her difficulty
