What Are You Waiting For?

An old bench

 

Old park bench

 

Decaying park bench

There must have been a time when this bench waited expectantly.
Waited for someone to come and sit awhile.
Waited for impatient children to wiggle and giggle.
Waited for lovers to snuggle and kiss.
Waited for tired men down on their luck to lay and rest.

Those days are gone. The bench got tired of waiting.

You are not a bench.
What are you waiting for?

    Interesting find.  There are days I feel like an old bench left on the abandoned path of life.

    Very true.  Thanks for the reminder.  Today I signed on to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.  I realized the longer I wait, the harder it seems to do… Also, really like the images.  What a great find!

    Hey Claudya! Nice, thoughtful stuff. But I rather like the bench. It looks more organic, natural, than when it was “just” painted wood. Just a thought. Indigo x

    Some days I’m the bench and some days I’m the player. Great post and pics. 🙂

    That bench is gorgeous!
    I’m waiting for life to settle down to BORING.  Boring would be nice for a change.
