It is the first time in years That we have a place to shelter Show us some mercy Do not expose our fears To those people who despise us Pray, look upon our faces And be merciful to us Our journeys have been hard In the many places we have lived Give us some respite For our bodies and our souls Have taken on a bit of batter Pray, spare us from rebuke And let us find favor with you We have long hoped and prayed Finally, grateful to arrive here Do let us take solace From the storms and disasters Always looming in the distance Pray, forgive our many failures And show us a little bit of kindness Toyin Taiwo, Aug 2020

Hmmm… Thank you sir.
This has brought another perspective to showing kindness to people who stay on the streets and ask for alms (I’m not sure, but I assume you’re writing in reference to them).-
Yea…the reference is mainly to homeless folks but we all need relief and succour after tough and draining seasons of life. So we all need to learn to be kind and overlook others’ faults because we often need people to do same for us.
