Cheryl enjoys writing poetry related to her personal faith in Christ and the things she had observed in life.

Here we sit and here we are waiting

Hoping the wedding will soon take place

Hair cuts new shoes socks and ties

All dressed up in suits and lace

We are bored and, hungry and tired

To get here we had to drive all day

Thankfully soon it will be over

We can change our clothes and go play

You captured the children's longing for fun which waiting for the bride does not exactly fit. Good job.

Thank you. I agree

The boredom we children have to endure, Sara, because "our parents say we must" to satisfy some social requirement. A pleasant reading reminding me of some undesired childhood experiences We were made to go through.

Lovely poem Cheryl - I remember going to my cousins wedding and falling asleep, sliding off the chair and sleeping on the floor. It's all on the video.
