The family writes a poem together for Anton's school project

RAIN

I am praying for some rain
As the days are getting hotter.
Dried up rivers bring me pain
Nowhere to get water.

I have weak and thirsty plants
Trying to break through scorching earth.
That gives my family no chance
My crops…my animals… everything’s lost.

My dying land, my withering trees,
My thirsty horses, empty long house,
My children’s faces covered with tears…
The hope fades. God, help my doubts!
