Waiting

Waiting
Waiting for the doctor just to get it over with dreading every moment every shot that she will give

Waiting for the dentist who will floss and drill and brush so that many years later my teeth won’t turn to mush

Waiting for the theme park ride the newest of the of the bunch
I’m just hoping afterward I will not lose my lunch

Waiting for my mom to come for I am late for school
I blame it on my mother that I am such a fool

Waiting in the checkout line to buy a candy bar if I share it with my family so happy we all are

Waiting for this poem to end because I am surely through so I hope my poem readers I won’t have to wait for you

Amazing
