House-Hunting

Since we'd decided it was time to find an easier home for just us two, I was ready to roll!

 I could be devastated by the news I got today;

But I prayed I'd be contented with the plan God sent my way.

I thought I Knew His purpose  --  the place I soon would live --

I even saw it in my dreams ~~ the lovely home He'd give!

Then He took my dreams away from me --  And closed the door so tight;

But He opened wide His better plan and said, "Child, it's alright!"

"Keep following and be alert; Your life is in My hands."

"When I reveal the end of it, 'tis then you'll understand!"

 

And what a wonderful surprise it was!

It's a little tricky to figure out, because your poem does not address the specifics, but from the way you commented, I believe the offer you made for a perfect downsized home was accepted and you are very happy. Forgive me if I am wrong.

Recently my sister, building their perfect retirement home close to their earlier dream home, was happily surprised, to sell the larger home before it was ever on the open market for the price she wanted. Almost a miracle, because she expected it would be on the market a long time and that they would have to lower the price to sell.

I hate to do house-hunting. This poem says volume about the hopes and the disappointments. Yes, I feel your frustration.

Ooooh, this poem is so relatable! Reminds me of all the times my own "perfect" plans, big ones and small ones, didn't work out. This poem sounds like such a huge disappointment, but I love that last line! Makes me want to know the whole story, though.
