It always seems to happen

when you think you are prepared

something will go wrong

when everything should go right.

A coffee spill

on your fresh mopped floor;

shattered glass

when you don’t have time to stop and clean.

makes your blood boil even more.

 

It always seems to happen

nothing goes your way

you think you have it all in control

you are mentally set

and emotionally strong,

but frustrating surprises litter your plate

like stale dried left-overs from yesterday’s meal.

The computer wants to update

right when you need to start;

the doorbell chimes and the phone rings

adding stress to what was supposed to be

a calm and relaxing day.

 

It always seems to happen

when you don’t have time to play.

anything that could go wrong

decides to happened just to cause delay.

take a deep breath

and calm your mind.

What seems to be an emergency right now

has to take its place in line.

You can only do what you can do,

so don’t sweat the unimportant

it’s just a part of life unexpected.
