Because Kristie Said So....

Last night our ward had a talent show.  I decided yesterday afternoon that I should do something.  So I wrote a poem and read it.  Kristie said I should post it, so here it is:

The Drive

When we first moved into this ward,

Church seemed so far away.

Fifteen minutes or even twenty - 

Depending on time of day.

But seven months ago things changed,

And we were filled with glee.

This building finally opened,

And short driving times we did foresee.

Because, you see, we’re fortunate

And live across the street.

Three minutes driving time by car,

Ten minutes by walking feet.

7/10 mile is now our drive,

And how we love it so.

We can hardly remember last year,

When we had so far to go.

Forgot my scriptures?  That’s okay.

I’ll race home in a hurry.

There’s no bread for Sacrament?

Back in six - so don’t you worry!

How many cars should we bring to Church?

One or two or three?

The distance is so trifling,

Some Sundays three is what you’ll see.

I think I understand now,

Why people love Salt Lake.

Finally living so close to Church,

Is like icing on the cake!

We’ve always been so very glad

We moved to Waterside Estates.

But now that we’ve so close to Church,

Things are really great!

There you go. My wondrous masterpiece!

The talent show was great! We have some real talent in our ward. Sorry to all of you who missed it.
