Biggest Day of Your Life

Well, when I was younger, I used to challenge myself to write whenever I could. A product of that were many short stories and poems. Most of them I wouldn't share today if you paid me a million bucks, but some I do cherish a bit more and it is obvious a 13 year old didn't write it.

Although not one of my best works, the poem I am going to share today was written shortly after I was married. With John and I's anniversary coming up tomorrow, I figured it was a good time to share. Tomorrow I will share with you what I feel is my best writing; my wedding speech.

The Biggest Day of Your Life

The days are numbered
The hours tick down
As that magical day
Comes nearer
To The Biggest Day of Your Life

Sleep is light
And distractions are frequent
For each minute that passes
Comes nearer
To The Biggest Day of Your Life

Your mind wanders
Does it go here or there
This way or that way…
Will we get this done
For The Biggest Day of Your Life

The final jitters are here,
Your palms sweat,
Your legs shake,
And your heart skips a beat
On The Biggest Day of Your Life

You can’t remember your name
Let alone left or right
You take a deep breath and wonder,
“What am I doing!?!”
On The Biggest Day of Your Life.

The tears fall from your eyes…
You remembered your name!!!!
The preacher pronounces you: husband and wife
He kisses his bride
On The Biggest Day of Your Life.
