Thankful For Serendipity

Today I’m thankful for serendipity  
How…out of nowhere…in a snap…
when we’re least expecting it 
life can drop a blessing in our lap

This Is

As a fear my fingers
Try to hold the airs,
And when I take a deep breath
Expecting me to come with it,
	The last moment is just too much to handle.

A Startling Development

Her comments had really startled me; I wasn't expecting any, you see

   So I hid in the dark under my bed ~ Then I heard this, 'Please marry me!'

THANKFUL FOR GENEROSITY AGAIN

Today I’m once again thankful for generosity…
It’s a wonderful lesson to learn:
The art of giving to another…
while expecting nothing in return.

Recalling Childhood

dramatic swooshing

sugar maple expecting

cloudburst thunderstorm

little girl’s long hair askew

wild green-apple eyes alive

Springtime

There once was a motherly ewe
Expecting a new lamb or two
In springtime they came
The ewe did gain fame
As the lambs they were born pink and blue!

I'm expecting a terrorist attack
suspecting my defense's out of whack
I'm bracing for the worst here, all alone
Waiting for my children to come home

Mermaid

I’ve fallen in love with a mermaid
We were splashing about in the water
The aroma was gross
But we got pretty close
And now we’re expecting a daughter

Misunderstanding

Her accent from Bronx in New York,
This doll said she needed a fork.
The waiter’s reply
Was, “Ma’am, I’ll comply.”
Now she frets, expecting The Stork.

Possibilities

climbing step by step
struggling to reach the top
expecting, hoping

Living With Faith Without Fearing Doomsday

I live a simple journey on own way
        sparing love values once a day
        hoping having my slice of heaven
       never expecting  to come a doomsday...

Donkey's Diplomacy


I have heard enough of your growl; 
I am well aware of your prowl.
When you wear angry frown,
You appear like a clown. 
Why waste time expecting my howl?!

Cuisine

For an exotic meal I pursued,
Not expecting one that did include,
Some baked tortoise tails
Amongst a plate of snails...
But I think I’ll just stick to fast food.

Daughter

Darling daughter 
Always admiring 
Undoubtedly understanding 
Graciously gathering 
Hopefully honest 
Truthful tones 
Eternally expecting 
Reassuringly realistic

Life - With the Time

What are you expecting from life that you should give to life
Fluctuations are come with time to time but you have to suffer this time with 
the life
