Pumipintig ang sintido ng babaeng nakaupo sa may pasilyo Bitbit ang kakapiranggot na kita mula sa buong maghapon Tinatapik-tapik lamang ang ulo, Nagbabakasakaling mawala ang kirot Inuulit ang dasal na kinabisado simula pa noon Aba, Ginoong Maria napupuno ka ng grasya Sa iilang barya pa, mapupuno na ang kanyang bulsa…
