Waiting My Turn
I
sit in the waiting room hearing the cleaning, scraping and drilling
I am
anxious, I have never found the dentist’s office very thrilling
I
know some things just have to be
I
just don’t want them done to me you see
I
sit in the chair waiting for the assistant to call my name
I
think maybe I should have flossed more, maybe that’s the blame
I
hope I can go to sleep and then I won’t worry
I
then will wake up, get in my car, and off to my life I will scurry
I
know that when I leave, my teeth will be clean and bright
I
will then smile more to show how my teeth are so pearly white
I
then realize the end probably justifies the means
I
have a better attitude now as the assistant scrapes and cleans
I
thank God for dentists and all they do
For
without them, there would probably be a lot more pain later we would all go
through
