Disappointment is.  No way to

Disappointment is. No way to

A Poem by Firestone Feinberg

b"h
1 Sept 2013

Disappointment is.  No way to
Escape from it.  It's built into
Life as much as any other
Feeling: satisfaction, pleasure,
Passion, dispassion, loneliness...
There's not much that you can do to
Avoid disappointment.  It will
Catch you.  Be sure of that.  You may
Be disappointed about all

Kinds of things: your job, your health, your
Bank account -- or lack thereof...  But
The worst kind of disappointment
Comes when you are disappointed
In a person.  It may be any
Person in your life: a friend or
A relative or a lover... 
A wife.  A husband.  Doesn't matter.
Disappointment just makes you sad.

So true, it's a fact of life, but some do sting much more than others, especially when those we love and depend on let us down...well said Dave.
