The Wonders of Surprise

Surprise can also come in many different forms,

Some are gentle and subtle, others loud and stormy like a storm.

It can be the sight of a rainbow after a heavy rain,

Or the feeling of a gentle breeze on a hot summer day.

It can be a chance encounter with a long-lost friend,

Or a new love that takes us by surprise, with no end.

It can be the taste of a dish we've never tried before,

Or the sound of a song that we've never heard anymore.

Surprise can also be a reminder of the beauty around us,

Of the world we live in, and the wonders that it does.

It can be the sight of a sunset, or a starry night sky,

Or the sound of birds singing in the morning as they fly by.

Surprise can bring us moments of pure joy and happiness,

Of laughter and excitement, of bliss and serendipitousness.

It can remind us that life is full of surprises, and that's okay,

For it is those surprises that make each day a brand new day.

Surprise can also come with challenges and difficulties,

A test of our strength and resilience, of our abilities.

It can be the loss of a loved one, or a sudden change in life,

Or the realization that we need to make changes to thrive.

But even in those moments of uncertainty and pain,

Surprise can be a beacon of hope that we can regain.

It can be the kindness of a stranger, or the support of a friend,

Or the inner strength that we never knew we had, in the end.

So welcome the surprises that come your way,

And embrace them with an open heart every day.

For they are the spice of life, the moments that make it so sweet,

And they remind us to live every moment, and cherish what we meet.

In this journey that we call life, let us remember this truth,

That surprises come and go, and they can change our route.

But it is up to us to decide how we react and what we do,

And whether we let the surprises bring us down or lift us anew.

So let us welcome the surprises with open arms and heart,

And let them take us on a journey that we never thought we'd start.

For it is those surprises that make life an adventure, so bold,

And help us write the story of our lives, with stories untold.
