Anticipation

by Chuck Pool - Virgo

The time is near - so close it seems
And yet, still far away
While in your mind you contemplate
The arrival of that day
You picture how it all will go
Every detail is alive
Your excitement teems with energy
For when it does arrive
From now ‘till then - how will you cope
So anxious are you now
But you planned it all so carefully
The who, when, where and how
With all the preparations made
So endless is the wait
And your nerves begin to come apart
As you anticipate
Not known to be a patient one
This has been hard for you
But knowing that it’s worth the wait
Has helped to get you through
The day has come - but will for you
Provide so much dismay
Since the event you looked so forward to
Took place just yesterday

Reason for writing:

    Just to be silly
