Unexpected
TODAY'S METAMORPHOSIS
IN THE CHAOS OF OUR LIVES
IN THE RAIN DROPS ON OUR
HEAD
FIND THE PUZZLE OF LIFE
NOT BROKEN
BUT FIT TOGEATHER INSTEAD
IN THE UNEXPECTED CHATTER
IN THE ROADBLOCKS SET IN
STONE
FIND THE TOOLS OF JOY
COLLECTED
FOR YOU ALONE TO OWN
TAKE THE UNDIRECTED
CURRENT
OF THE UNEXPECTED GALE
USE YOUR INNES STRENGTH
AND COURAGE
TO RESET UP THE SAIL
CHANGE IS ALL THAT'S
CONSTANT
AND YOU SEEM TO SINK NOT
SWIM
JUST REMEMBER THERE'S A
LIFEGUARE
AND YOU CAN TRUST IN HIM
SOMETIMES ALL THE RUBBLE
THAT SEEMS TO BLOCK THE
PATH
IS JUST THE CLUTTER NEEDED
TO SEE CLEARLY AT LAST
PLEASE TREASURE THE
UNEXPECTED
AND LOVE THE NEW UNKNOWN
LOOK WHERE YOU LEAST
EXPECT IT
THE ANSWER THERE IS SHOWN
This is great and the unexpected is really there to embrace. Excellent.

ReplyDeleteYes, we do have to treasure the unexpected, as it is part of life. And so often it is the unexpected that brings the greatest gifts of all. I especially liked the idea of the 'lifeguard' and truly believe the same.
