I thought by now I'd...
Why haven't I...?
You should...
Why can't you...?
Why don't you...?
Expectations embodied in ellipsis
of what we should have done,
where we should be,
how others should act,
what path to take.
Bringing forth strong emotions
and reactions;
creating a chasm of pain
regret
anger
disappointment
An unexpected
delay
reaction
change of plans
illness
loss
Expect the unexpected they say
and have no regrets.
Live in the moment.
Man makes plans
but
God directs his steps.
Don't let your dreams become idols.
Turn to Him for wisdom,
for forgiveness,
grace,
and the ability to live in the moment.
His ways are always better than ours.
