some things are unexpected
and the way you react to them
speaks volumes of the way
you approach your life

some things are truly amazing,
touch you in unexpected ways
change your life to the extent that
your approach changes

some things you look forward to
in ways you never expected
and when the possibility is taken away
it affirms how much it truly meant

some things inspire you
to go beyond yourself
and to grow into a person
you never thought you were

some things are unconditional
come from the heart
are ongoing, undying
and you can expect to outlast

some things are frozen in time...
