You Don't Get To Know

You don’t
Get to know
What’s next

None of us do

Betrayal

Devastation
Disappointment

Peace

Contentment
Joy

Divorce

Death
Disability

Good Health

Rich friendships
Solid finances

We don’t get to know

And we can’t change
What’s coming

Not through prayer

Or good wishes
Or right living

What comes

Comes

What goes

Goes

And the story

Of our lives
Is written
As life unfolds

And we get to read it
As the ink is drying
And not
One moment
Before
