Susan T. Aparejo - The Ranking System

Certificates fights,
Hearts beats swiftly
though and through,
points by points,
each decimals counts
the pulsation of heart'
beats.

The question is clear,
Will I be?
Will she be?
Or will he be?
So nerve trembling.
Yet, exciting!

Contenders all praying,
God hears them all, .I know
But whosoever wins in the first rank,
is not God's will all the time,
sometimes its the weather
that permits too! or
Its really your TIME!
Congratulations! you're the winner,
So easy to tell
but hard to others,
Yet time will heal
to every pain brought by
Pride and expectation.
