Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m the line in the newspaper easy to bend;
I’m to lay down a hand that you cannot defend;
I am closing a map; I’m a business’s end;
And the sheep in the flock that a shepherd will tend.

Who am I?

    When you can lend the hands in aid, fantastic!
    Go ahead, respond with help immediately!
    In the meantime, when a champion attempt isn’t possible,
    FOLD your hands and bless the weak one.

    FOLD is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    And welcome back, Dharam!
