Results...

12th January 2009

the date we'd all been anticipating
some were sleepless, awaiting
others couldn't eat
a small minority though,
without a single thought or word
allowed a normal-breeze-by week

2pm we all gathered
in that hall where we first started
mass dance and orientation cheer
now with more than a hint of fear

slowly but surely the results came
all around there were people
upset, down, and inevitably crying
others happy, jubilant and grinning

are these results a reflection of our intelligence
or hardwork maybe?
do i deserve this?
i say, it's not a question of who deserves what
but it all lies in the hands of our Lord

i believe this comes as a blessing in disguise
to those who expected better,
do not fret, it isn't the end
somehow somewhere
God has a plan in store
not one that we'd ever think of
(As the heavens are higher than the earth
so are (His) ways higher than (our) ways
and (His) thoughts than (our) thoughts -- Isaiah 55:9)
but one that eventually turns out much better than you expected

so my dear brothers and sisters
have faith

we walk by faith and not by sight -- Corinthians 5:7
