It has been said life holds no promises
But I beg to differ
It holds all the promises.
It smashes our expectations
Annihilates our entitlement and
Laughs at our tantrums
It promises astounding miracles
Breathless wonder, heart expansion,
A beautiful cure for dry eyes,
epic adventures, deep laughter
Boundless smiles, raging storms
Exquisite sorrow,
innocence and love.
Life has all the promises
And no guarantees.
