PAUSE

By: Theresa Eleanor Paano

I looked at my exam result

It reads 52 on my paper

Got no one to blame, it’s my fault

Oh, If only I studied harder

Tried to analyze what went wrong

Because I know that I did my best

Even strived to stay awake long

So that I’d be ready for the test

Sadness, fear dominated me

But I’m struggling to revive the hope

Perhaps He is challenging me

To see how well I’m able to cope

Then I remember what happened

That most probably ruined my day

I just realized in the end

That I forgot to Pause and Pray #
