SURPRISE!

By Ken Blue

 

I planted a garden with plants and seeds

Applied herbicides to kill the weeds

Dusted the plants for insects and bugs

To my surprise they were eaten by slugs

 

I purchased baby chicks, a farmer I’d be

They’d lay eggs for Joyce and me

I prepared their provisions with every breath

To my surprise they froze to death

 

I bought me some bees and housed them in hives

From the many flowers they’d feed and thrive

There’d be gallons of honey from all my bees

To my surprise they turned on me

 

Friendships are forever, I’d been taught

Through thick and thin they stick, I thought

“I have ministry ideas which are new”, I said

To my surprise those friends all fled

 

Nothing surprises me now what could be left

“I’ve experienced it all”, I said to my self

“I’m tough as nails and straight as trees”

To my surprise I was brought to my knees

 

If you think you’re standing on unshakeable ground

You’re firmly fixed, nothing can bring you down

Learn from this poem written with flair

When surprises come you need not despair
