The old lady

There she sits, day in and day out under the lamp post
With misery in her eyes, body hunched and a bony hand stretched out for alms.
People pass by her, some giving pity looks and others a few coins, but mostly ignoring the tiny old lady.
I watch her everyday and wonder what made her deserve this and would her misery end?
And as an answer to my question, the next day I saw her limp, lifeless body being taken away.
Is this the end of her suffering or would there be more, as her soul travels from one body to another.
