Expect The Unexpected Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

How should I begin...
Not everything turned
out as expected

As a child I trusted...
I was cared for
and protected

As years passed
and I grew...my future
was self-directed

Met someone with
whom I felt
complete and connected

I was flying high
then suddenly
I was ejected

Facing reality I knew
I must reinvent...
life was resurrected

Satisfied with what
I have…even though
turns have redirected

Cautiously optimistic...
Staying steady on the
path that I've selected

I have many days invested
with dividends
yet to be collected
