The Acceptance of the Unexpected

When hopes become high,
or when for granted is taken.
When you least expect it,
you will soon, become awaken.

Realizing no one has immunity,
to a fate, that has taken place.
Becoming strong, and acceptance of truth,
from what one must truly face.

For the hurt will always come,
and pain is unavoidable, for all affected.
Better becomes a person, 
who comes into terms, of the unexpected.
