Surprise

Did someone ever surprise you
In such a way
That you did not know what to say

Did events in your life ever take a turn
And all of a sudden there you are
Up in the air

Did you ever feel your life settle
Only to find 
You have to again grasp the nettle

Did you ever think
Ah now I know
Only to be left scratching your brow 

Did you ever look around
And be surprised 
At what you found

What do you feel
About life's deal
Always moving on
Always changing
Life rearranging
