Unexpected

Unexpected
In the most expected way
Something we worried about for 19 years
We lived with the fear so long
We grew complacent
It seemed
It would not happen
That perhaps our fear
Was unfounded
And certainly
It should not have happened

There is no comfort
We pretend there is
But just like the comfort
Job's friends offered him
It is a cold, cold comfort
What good is it knowing she is happy
For we are abandoned
And unhappy
