I can’t wait until next Sunday
Amazing Things
When I go to church I always sit in the same pew.
I sit in front of Mandy and Linda and a couple of other people too.
We sing and take time to praise the Lord,
and when Jack starts talking I get a little bored.
Sometimes I get upset and I start to cry.
Everyone cares so they turn and ask why.
During greeting time we all shake hands,
and when we pray and sing we stand.
We all love each other very much.
Jack and I always do a knuckle touch.
Audrey always pokes me and pulls my hair,
but she’s the cutest and I love her mom so I don’t care.
Sarah is always joking around with me,
but there are times when we have a conversation seriously.
No matter what mood I come in,
I can’t wait until next Sunday so I can come again.
