The Big Step

weary waiting tired of dating marriage- ready— going steady leaves her wanting life is daunting time is flying-- as she’s sighing doorbell’s ringing soon she’s singing ring, he proffers best of offers they don’t tarry they’re not wary soon they marry March 4, 2023 written for the Strand Premier 1194 Poetry Contest placed 4th

I can imagine dating to be so tiring and taxing on the poor heart so we skipped that part. Your poem is wonderful with it finally ending in marriage even if after lots of heartbreak. Kudos!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>*>>>>>>>>>>*********** Plz also read and comment my newest poem too

Reminds me of how my hubby and I had a short courtship, we were engaged six months after our first date, and it has been over fifteen years married now~
