Poem Fifty-Three - ♬ That's All I'm Saying

I'm almost through, now,
I've got one time left.
It's time for me to take a bow,
And say good-bye to the football season with a treble clef.

It was a good run,
I'd never doubt;
I had fun,
And I learned so much throughout.

At the end of the first time,
I wasn't told a rhyme, but
I was told to never stop playing.
"Try and stop me now," is all I'll be saying.

I'll freeze, I'll sweat,
These hands will never rest,
In a gentle breeze, or as worse as it'll get.

Dressed all in orange and black,
This last march,
I will always look back
With a smile.

I'll hold my voice,
In a musical tube of silver metal,
I am glad I made this choice,
To join and to stay, the last seven years, all.

"Never stop playing..." she told me.
No worries, that's all I'm saying, I'm free.

For this last march, I will do my best.
But it is not my time to rest.
Twice more will I don the orange and black,
And I will forever smile when I have a moment to look back.

And I will cry.
And I will smile.
This is something I'm glad I tried,
And I will keep this for a long while.

     My final day of marching in my school's marching band, and I am so happy for the memories, but I am so sad this is the last time during the football/marching season :..) Anyone who reads this and is new to the marching band, enjoy every single moment, even if you are freezing, or in the heat, enjoy it, because you only have so much time to enjoy it. ♪
