Anticipation
Everyone was getting ready.
Tomorrow would be the day.
People excited, running around.
Stirring up the dust of the ground.
People have been waiting a long time.
The time was close. Hard to unwind.
Something so big it’s hard to believe.
This was no time to start to grieve.
Preparations have been made for years.
This was enough to bring people to tears.
This is what they all have been waiting for.
Get your house in order. Open the door.
This will be a major change.
There will be no more tears or pain.
Some day we will take it in stride.
For now, it will bring much pride.
People will have to learn to adjust
Others have taken care of the rest.
This will be a fantastic event.
It is GREAT!!, is what I meant.
It will happen just about noon.
It has got to happen soon.
The grand opening is near.
Soon, ‘Wally World’ will be here.
