My Final Exam! Poem by RAJ NANDY

MY FINAL EXAM!

The Lord said, '' the time is now ripe
for you to take that final test!
Don't be alarmed, for the questions
are based, on your life and experience,
And things that you have learnt -
During your stay with the rest! '

The question paper was in the form
of multiple choice,
With a few fill-in the blanks.
On top of the page I wrote my name.
I was to answer within a short time-
frame!
I did my best, yet failed to make the
grade!
So in earnest I began to pray!
Seeing my anxious looks and colour
drain fron my face,
The Lord gave me a few marks of grace!
Thereby making me eligible for my
final promotion,
And I entered His fold with utmost
devotion!
May He continue to shower His eternal
grace,
And salvage my soul and brighten my
face!

(Friends, without His Grace marks,
most of us would fail the final test!)
