First Home Game

I have never been much
Of a sports fan.
And it was to my surprise
That I ended up at yesterday's football game,
Dressed all in white.
Ready to run with the flags when we made a touchdown.
We got to run three times.
It was great.

But the part I think of most,
That I smile at as I dream,
Is right after the marching band has performed,
Marvelously I might add,
They were marching off.
We flag-runners,
The "Spirit Team,"
Were clapping like maniacs and cheering for them.
Because they rock.
And there is this one boy I know,
Who was walking in the line closest to me,
His head turned ever so slightly towards the stands.
So I smiled at him.
His head shifted ever so slightly towards the front.

And he smiled.
