Poem
There once came a moment in my life
When I came to realize the reason why I took birth

I was walking down the road after a long day
And an elderly woman came close to me and these words did say

Pray, could you be kind and give me some money
My children and myself are all hungry

We have been left to ourselves, my husband ran off with another
And I'm trying to get a job, but so far, I've had not any offer

I took pity on her and handed her a two hundred rupee note
Hoping that, there would soon come to her, a change of fate

I then walked on home and tended to my own woes
Soon, I completely forgot about this woman and her pitiful cause

But then, came to me, around six months later, an elegantly dressed woman
She walked over and greeted me with the warmth of the sun

Thank you she said, thank you so much for your generosity
Thanks to you, I fed myself, I fed my children and even tried a chance at the lottery

Why, would you believe it
My ticket number won the jackpot

I won a huge amount of money, too much for myself and my kids
I bought a house and could offer my children more than I ever imagined

Now, I have even set up a home
For those, who, like I was once, had no luck next to their name

We had a nice chat, then she left and I took a decision
That I would help those in need more often

I felt good about my action
It gave me a sort of liberation

Why, I had found my aim, my meaning
Soon, the lady in her home and her carers was I helping!

Yes, helping people reach for their stars
Does give me unending joys

Helping people cross the well set borders
Does give me solace and comforting shudders

Now, I do be an active member of my society
Yes, now I do make a must to tend to those drowning in the waters of poverty!

Hoping they shall someday turn into Kings and Queens as well
For such does show that life does not be always so cruel!
