Unexpected

Posted on April 4, 2023April 7, 2023 by Steve Ainslie
I didn't plan to fall in love with an older woman,
     and help parent another man's kids;

I didn't foresee that she would get sick,
     and for 15 years would need my help;

I didn't think the lump would turn out to be cancer,
     and that there would 8 months of suffering;

I didn't know she'd die,
     and that I would be alone
