The Generous Ana

Ana with her five siblings

Struggle to survive every day

Left orphan at a young age

Amidst trials she remains steadfast

With only two matchsticks to cook their food

To light piles of wood underneath a mound of soil

to make charcoal for a living

She still chooses to part with one matchstick

To give it to her neighbour in dire need

In the darkest of night, she bends her knees

Surrendering their fate to One True God

As dawn breaks into morning

There comes grace

Sent by the Heavens

A philanthropist knocking on her door

Bringing a good news

The generous Ana with her siblings

Will have a new home .
