EPINIKION: "DETOUR WITH DESTINY" BY OLAALLAH

To the desire I longed for years,  

I prayed and wept in silence.  

I read and spent both sides of the coin,  

Yet it was abortive.

I highly aimed at becoming a NURSE

Diligently walking through the ward

Serving to the heart of humanity

But fate has its way.

I’m not giving up on that dream,  

Even when the road I planned  

Isn’t the one God cleared.  

I thankfully accept and remain hopeful.

My dream did not vanish

Just before getting there,Fate passed through here.

CROSSING THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

It's ORDINARY NATIONAL DIPLOMA.  

Hmm

To all eyes see but mouth can't narrate.  

The degree might be ORDINARY

But I say — the journey was not.  

It’s all grace.

Not in the white gown I imagined

But it’s an end chapter that births another beginning.

This is not failure

It’s a ray that breaks through when the sun finally shines.
