The Beauty of Gray

To expect's a human habit, which we're stuck with, bad or good,
But when expectations turn to stone, stop being “could” and turn to “should,”
They're not the only things that harden. So do our hearts and arteries.
Raised certainty raises blood pressure. Expectation's a disease.
Expecting too much turns the light out on what we've really got.
A pessimist sees could-be and then better-than-I-thought.
