Concisely expressed... ...truth about life. Love and peace,

Regis.

True words. You put it well, Michael.

Love ya!

Unusual for you because it's not humorous. And, this poem is bitterly and unfortunately, so true. I can't help thinking that some surprise has jumped up and bit you.

I agree, God keeps us on our toes, doesn't he and other times on our knees. In life we get to experience so much, but we should never give up, cuz we don't know what is round the bend. Thanks Michael.

Nothing expected ever happens to me...the oddest thing. We must learn to go with the flow and accept what comes. Very good poem of wisdom!

If you expect the unexpected bitterness instead of the unexpected joy, then why spending more time in worrying or expecting it to happen? Take each unexpected as it comes and hold it by the horns. You are the master of your own fate and happiness. No one can be exempted in life from bitterness, we just have hold it by the horns and fight it as it comes along. But to always sit there worrying about it is unnecessary. Why spend more time in worrying about thing that may or may not be happening?

Indeed, I have come to learn that as well, Michael, especially recently.

Somehow I don't think your end will be bitter. It will rather be a good laugh, and that's how they will remember you. But good advice in the poem, I take it and also do so.
