My heart pounded so much I felt it would burst.
My ears flip flapping like my cats' in anticipation.

I lost all concentrations, in just a day for a news
I thought would come.

Good or bad I needed so anxiously to hear.
I waited from dawn to but it did not come.

In just a day, I waited so much to hear my phone ring,
it did ring many times too many but not from the caller
I so much awaited.

A lot could change in a day,
a lot could be lost or gain in a day,

But finally I was relieved, when the news came.
It was good in did and now I know where I stand.

I was inspired to write this poem after waiting impatiently all day yesterday for a news regarding the Peace and Security fellowship for African Women that I was short listed for.
I wanted to know if I made it to the last stage of the interview that will be conducted in Kenya.
I waited all day but the news came and I did make it! I will have to cut short my Chicago trip for Nairobi. I will give you all the details later. Wish me luck!
