Ode to My Answered Prayer

      Ode to My Answered Prayer

After struggling for so many years,

Finally, the time came —

The year when I completed my Master's in Literature,

A moment that felt like a fairy tale to me,

A dream come true.

"What next?" I began to wonder.

Suddenly, I remembered all those overthinking nights,

Those endless thoughts before sleeping —

Imagining myself as a Professor at a reputed college.

And then, like a ray of hope,

A vacancy ad popped up!

At that very moment, I decided:

"I will drop my resume."

Soon, the day arrived.

I went along with my mum to submit it.

Not long after, I got a call for an interview!

As I entered the interview room,

There sat a respected, qualified panel,

Ready to assess me.

The interview went well —

All smiles, all hope.

Now, it was time to wait for the final call.

Yippee! Selected as a Professor for An English Literature 

Finally, my 3 a.m. thoughts,

My silent prayers,

My sleepless dreams —

All came true.
