The Job Search.

T      The time to search, the time to pray to God,                    T
O      It's dreaded, anticipated, dreamt for,                              H
W     That position which grants us wealth helps mod.             A
H      Our desperate and uncertain mind's core                        N
O      Which for the last five months has never ceased             K
M      To haunt us in the fear of poverty                                  S,
I        Until that dollar is in hand and creased                           B
T       Into wallets of peace. The job, you see,                         R
M       Is more than meets the eye; it is the way                       I
A       To create hope and peace within our hearts.                 A
Y       It is not about the money, as some say,                        N
C       Nay! Positions such as these are our carts                    F
O       Which encompass the future of our life.                        L
N       The time has come; the interview is here.                     E
C       Now, put away the nerves and kiss the wife,               M
E       Hide the jitters, uncertainty, and fear.                            I
R       The call will come, now to wait for the day,                 N
N      When they say "yes", hopefully, before May!               G
