EACH STRENGTHENS THE OTHER

The rivers flowing east and west

Merge in the sea and become one,

Forgetting they were ever separate rivers,

And so we too can become one.

We can lose our separateness

When we merge in mutual kindness,

and treat each other more compassionately.

Like bricks of a building,

Brick by Brick ...

When they are all combined together

Lend strength to another,

Sister to sister, Brother to brother,

Each strengthening the other.

Like the hands and arms, joined together,

Bound to co-operate with each other.

Like the rivers flowing east and west

Joined together to form the vast ocean's quest.

If this spirit is infused in society,

It would be clear to see its necessity,

No one would doubt its peace and tranquility!

"The Muminah Poetess"
