Life changes come in little increments
along a fated journey fraught with twists and turns.
But once in a while
changes come on sudden and dramatic
like the day you passed away.
A fatal blow ~
the instant when I became unwhole
a widow
a casualty of love.

when the sun prepares to set
on a sunflower field that stretches
as far as the eye can see
magic's surely about to happen

would we be better or worse off ~ knowing what's in store after we die
By
David Kavanagh
Spontaneous I formulated it
Knowing full well it is tangible
Little did I anticipate
That it will patronize the audience
Wow, surprise !
Such revelation it left
Keen for a portal
Transmitting the message
Navigating the sequence of events
Yeah, it came together!
The fixation of the eyes
Tearless I smiled
I pulled it off
Left them speechless
Intrigue was the word written

Expect the unexpected and maybe it will find you.
Believe the unbelievable.
See the world from upside down.
Change your perspective all around.
Do something that you have never done.
Be someone you have never been.
Ask yourself “Who would you be, if nothing and no-one held you back?”
Take a road you’ve never taken.
Break a code you’ve never broken.
Following the straight and narrow is leading you round and round.
Jump off now, while there is still time.
Discover the undiscoverable.
Wonder about the wonderful.
Then please go grab the wonderful and save it just for you.
E-xpect the unexpected
U-nder the wide blue sky;
F-rom above is coming
R-ain like tear from the eye.
A-ccept every little thing
C-oming from heaven high;
I-n your mind just think
O-f sweet smile, not cry.
C-oming not from your heart
A-re regret, fret and sigh;
S-o much thanks you say,
T-hird morn in warm July.
I-nclement clime turns fine,
L-ight is shining bright;
L-et the dawn just decide
O-f leaving the lonely night.
J-ust wait for some surprise, two things are anticipated;
R-ough road or smooth one, expect the unexpected.

Expect the unexpected
Expect the Unexpected
to minimize your grieves
Anything will happen in a second
Be prepared to face with dare
Facing the problem
will reduce the serious ness of that problem
Don’t hide your face in the shadows of fear and
not to escape from struggles in tears
They come to strengthen you and
they are stepping stones to your victory
Enjoy your happy with tears and
Bear your pains with smile
Victories are very closer to your failures and
you are very near to your victories
Expect the changes in every second and
Prepare to move away with this world
Shower may fall in summer and the sun may shine in autumn
Be prepared to walk in all seasons
Death and births are just like normal happenings
Nothing is there to say more here
Expect your death at your birth and
hope to live at your last breath

You crept into my heart
like a thief in the night
took over my heartache
and made everything all right
You filled out the help wanted application
to become my new best friend
you saw that there was work that needed to be done
and bridges that needed to mend
I honestly couldn't have done it without you,
you have been a real asset
and even if I pass tonight
Your love is one that I will never forget.
