DUTY AND LOVE

DUTY AND LOVE
It's valiant when a mum faces her death
to see her babe quite safe cooing his thanks.
It's gallant when a man risks his own life
to save his son from being burnt alive.

What can we say when one defends a child
quite helpless in the hands of sex assault.
He knows that he may not escape quite safe,
but he would give his life as sacrifice.

I would bow down and kiss the feet of that
who can't see hopeless people stand alone.
Their distress makes him leave his urgent work
and help them till their smile finds its way back.

What shall l say about the Person Who
has come to save His foes before His friends?
He stood up for their cause, driven by love
till He was on the cross wept by His mum.
