To Expect
by Austin Corbin
When they sent it out, I expected
The letter
The rest of my year
When received, I expected
The letter
What they chose
In opening, I expected
The letter
It left me pleasantly surprised
The rest of my year
Set in stone
Relief falls over me
The rest of my year
Set in stone
A quaint small space
The rest of my year
Set in stone
People I will come to know
The rest of my year
Set in stone
I will never let them know
It was not exactly as I wished
Not everything I wrote
However, now I’m standing here
It is just as I never knew I hoped
