What Is
Disappointment?
by
Barbara Philbrook
What is
disappointment other than another chance,
an opportunity to change your circumstance.
A time allotted
to make life better in some way.
A chance to make up for the past one might say.
A chance to
compensate for something done to another,
or even better, to become a Christian brother.
Disappointment
is when we regret a decision,
or when we've realized we've acted with derision.
It's when our
eyes are opened and what we see,
is that we haven't acted responsibly.
Disappointment
is the feeling we get inside,
when our actions bring sadness instead of pride.
Disappointment
is what allows us to try once more,
and this time to reap the happiness that hope has in
store.
Hope eases
disappointment and sends it away,
and gives us a reason for awakening each new day.
