Meek and Weak

MEEK AND WEAK Meek Mild and gentle like a sweet child. Easygoing, does not want to argue with you. Endures through pain and sorrow. Kind, forgiving and true. Weak W~a~v~e~r~i~n~g between thoughts. Everyone's punching bag. Absent of power. Kicked around. Meek and Weak Yet meek, strong-arms weak, through prayer, strengthens weak with care, lifts her head, feeds her soup, offers him a job, helps him to cope. Twins In other words ~ Meek and Weak SEEM to be CONJOINED, but one threatens loss the other W I N S. For the meek shall inherit the earth. 7/31/2017

And if the twins are boys they will still destroy your backyard! No matter who wins, the sprinklers still won't work right and the gate won't close. Good write, though.
