Premium Member Expected End
Best is God’s expected end* for us to ripple from here to yon.

*Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Premium Member Never Ever Ever Ever Expected This
I swear it is raining outside today
Anyway, it feels like it in my bones.
Arthritis has kicked up her heels
Reminding me I am not a spring chicken
Or even a lively old tired worn-out rooster
I am long in the tooth as we loved to say
When we were...

Premium Member Expected
We oft expect of others,
In most given situations,
What we ourselves would do,
For it's our inclination,

To think that we are all the same,
So we think they would do,
The same as we if we should find,
Ourselves in those same shoes.

So when we suspect another,
Of some skullduggery,
Or we...

I Never Expected
When I first saw you
I never expected we would get this far
When we first did hangout 
I never expected you to enjoy being with me
When we first went out to eat
I'd never expected you to take me to my favorite place
When I first came to...

This Is Not What I Expected
This Isn’t What I Expected

Lusty-eyed dreams, 
Broken nightmares, 

This is what it has risen from the cream, 
This is not what I’d wished to fare, 

Yet, I’m the bad one, 
The one who no one loved, 

But, that’s not why I’m done, 
The one who...

Premium Member The Expected
"The Expected" 

The writing was on the wall
the eraser like a sparkler
annihilated every naysayer

words not required
for such a blind date
He da main player

records kept
for reviewing later

Premium Member 1. It's a Great Day To Be Alive (How Much More Am I Expected To Take?)
I greet each day the very same way. 
It's A Great Day To Be Alive.
It's a positive way to begin your day,
but for me, it's so I can survive.
Waking up is a struggle. Way too much trouble.
Not waking up would certainly be a break.
Too much...

The Expected One
Alas! i'm expecting.
Expecting the one...
expected long back.

I accept you,
the expected one.
The one expected long back.


let me give you guys a little meaning of this(for those who found it difficult to 
understand)
a mother expresses her feeling of being pregnant after a long time.
Hope you guys enjoy...

Premium Member I Expected More
I expected more 
Tolerance
Understanding
Support

I expected more
Yes, I’m an idealist
I have a better name….
A fool
A child
Thinking that trust still means something
That people won’t turn into cannibals
Eating each other whole
Biting away pieces of reputation
With our razor sharp teeth of
Innuendos
Slander
Gossip
G O S S I P

Without finding out the...

Premium Member Gale Force Winds Expected
 Gale force winds are expected; time to tie your knickers down
All heads bent, and everyone is pushing their way across town

Mouths are tightly shut, just in case their dentures out and fly
Ski goggles are on, just in case you get something in your eye

Skirts...

Premium Member 2. It's a Great Day To Be Alive (How Much More Am I Expected To Take?)
My final exit will one day come for me,
but when I die I'll die alone, anonymously.
My true loved ones won't grieve. They won't have any reason to.
They'll live their lives believing, I'm still living mine the way I sincerely want to.
You may think this way...

A Long - Expected Vacation
The troubles we face
are rising like the sea itself
      The waters
are rising up around us
        Time for us 
to take a vacation
       An inner vacation
prompted by reading...

As Expected
Swimming in together shoals
All at one with one another
Taking turns within the in-crowd
On the lookout under cover
Doing what we always do
Chancy spins in life’s roulette
To bounce around the spinning wheel
A guessing game of our best bet
Riding high on peaks of energy
Propagating for tomorrow
In the bedrock...

God Expected Horn Haiku

God does love us all
With Him all things can do
With His help and aid.

We must be aware
No limits does have our God
All is possible.
