Far across in the sea
Storming, roaring angry waves
An ant fought to save its life
From the furious, endless sea
Finds a block of wood
And weeks after saves its life
On a dreadful new moon night
Nothing was visible to them
Feared were they
Cursing the dark they moved on
A small candle burnt itself, sacrificed
Itself to illuminate their ways
She failed today, hiding her face
Herself hopeless, helpless she felt
She went on hill to commit suicide
Overheard the talks coming from cave
Ant was smiling on the candle’s fate
The candle admired the ant’s strength
She then came to sense, felt ashamed
Motivated by the angels of God
She thanked them, came back again
With a smile on face, with a spark in soul
She worked hard, has she achieved her goal
