Best Expectation Poems
Someday I shall fly higher than the eagle
Soar to the top of these majestic hills,
I shall breathe free and feel, oh, so regal
The sky, my kingdom, with rapture fills.
Soar to the top of these majestic hills
Where pines towering above green valleys
The sky, my kingdom, with rapture fills,
I shall reap applause with grand finales.
Where pines towering above the valleys
Reaching for the vast heavens far beyond,
I shall reap applause from grand finales
With a carefree abandon nature spawned.
Reaching for the vast heavens far beyond
I rise higher into a promising atmosphere
With a carefree abandon nature spawned,
At last, learning my reason for being here.
I rise higher into a promising atmosphere
I shall breathe free and feel, oh, so regal,
At last, learning my reason for being here
Someday I shall fly higher than the eagle.

Expectation
Is a wasted exercise.
Attempting to surmise
The content of a situation
Leads to misconceptions:
A woman cries,
A source of pride,
The setting of the sun;
Exchange it for another one
And stand aside.
Don't squander time
With speculations.

Uncertainty

An imposing oak or a persistent annoying weed"

The crude beast of my future
I know I will never be super
I cant make honors
so my life will by shattered like the trail left by bombers
I try too hard
to make my life good
to make my sure I wont live in a junkyard
from the second I was born I would be told I could
I could do anything I want
I could say anything I want
I could believe whatever I want
And it is as if life is making my life miserable by all of its taunts
The truth hurts they say
That luck will eventually come my way
School is a pit of destruction that crushed dreams more than it creates them
cause there is now way I can get my GPA, SAT, MCAS, or RPMs hight enough.
I love learning but hate being graded on the right answer.
There is more than one right answer and if if it doesn't fit in your ideal world
I will just have to become an exotic dancer
Cause I want to change education not become enrolled.

Form:
Everything in life has a price, even the air we breath! and payment is done when the almighty decides..
dark'n thick clouds hanging
deceiving by the report
down in misery
Expectation:
Denotes hope,
Incarnate scope.
Expectation:
Emerging life,
Free of strife.
Expectation:
Faithful wait,
Defying fate.
Expectation:
Defining truth,
Absent proof.
Expectation:
Abiding trust,
From dust to dust.
Expectation:
Salvation come;
To bring us home.
Our expectations cease
With liberations’s peace.
If you have dreams
You can take a walk into the future
You can start your plan today
With great hope and expectation
But try your best from today
And accept the result tomorrow
The future forever welcome you
But with your love, conscience
Perseverance,optimism
And sincerity in god
The unknown world forever welcome you
But have to bear in mind the rules
Thankful for yesterday
Cherish for today
And hopeful for tomorrow

Late Monsoon
She bares an enchanting smile like a crown
Torrential rain drenched her colorful balloon
Enthusiasm ebbed reveals portentous frown
Strode naked in the wake of a late monsoon

WHEN I CAN DO YOU'LL DO.
WHEN YOU CAN DO YOU DON'T DO.
DO NOT LIE TO ME.
God will do something that will shock you
Things you wouldn't have expected
For example they just selected somebody to be my supervisor
That for a million years I wouldn't have expected him to be my supervisor
It's not that he is not qualified, he is
It's just that I would have picked some other persons
That is to show you that you are not right on everything
And the things you expected, well, may not be
So there baby, throw you a curved ball
That really changed my thinking
So I am not right after all haha
I was so sure that He wouldn't get the position
Make me think what other things I would not have expected may happen
So there God here we go again
You just do things - the unexpected
And we just learn things - no expectation at all
Is that good?
So that when it comes it may be a good surprise
Because, well after all we don't know more than you do
If you say "go that way", who are we to say "go other way"?
Anything God - lead on
He may turn out to be good after all
And I may say "God - You are right"
But I do know that I will not expect any more
You teach me once
Don't need to teach me twice
I got it hehe
“Expectation is the root of all heartache”
Those fine words that were once read
Now every vital syllable is felt
Before them I was misled
With false yearning I was fed
I voluntarily injected myself with anticipation and adoration
And sadly I failed to infuse you with the same potion
All this lead to an empty commotion
An inner hidden turmoil of some sort
And like a shattered plate my heart fell to the ground
Living in a mirage of high expectancy and wishful thinking
Yet this hope has been misplaced
It took an epiphany to shatter my nerves and alert my senses
That Fraud of an appeal was the stem to my heartache
A moment of awareness mixed with the residue of regret
Denial the first step of any anguish
Molding my image of you that you have now tarnished
Looking for some sort of justification
Like a patriot for his fallen nation
Denial Denial Denial
It rings and sings in my ear
Like a gong struck with intensity
It rang and vibrated through my ear majestically
Now my mind to you it fakes a false conspiracy
To justify such actions I can stay hours pondering upon
Yet one day the truth will hit me
So tonight I choose to rid myself of it all
Before I crumble and fall
Tonight I rid myself of it and u…
I rid myself of it all…
Children, innocents a true blessing to the family
When born after labor Dad’s pacing a new life of beauty.
Whether a daughter or son healthy is the key’
Knowing the baby instinctively is connected to mom really pretty.
Not all can have children some just don’t have the vital parts blood must match.
If you have negative blood and your partner has positive then baby doesn’t catch.
However there is a way, that way is called adoption.
They are still needed babies who need a home they are also innocent and adopting one of them is a celebration.
Our Lord the only true God who made “us” in His image has a loving way about children.
Possibly after adoption you have a blessed child the key to God’s coming Kingdom.
Read your Bible “only babes enter the Kingdom.”
When blessed having an adopted child we will cherish them; it’s all of God’s doing the power of the Holy Spirit a God given wisdom.
looking at the crystal ball
maintaining an open mind
so loud the vernacular
of love and ardor
a promise without a word
expectation surreal
passion our barometer
written in the stars
the two of us together
our hands entwined, binding hearts
identifiable beats
in the crystal ball
