From a distance, I
saw them marching towards the crowd
In unison like a
machine, perfect sync, and thumping loud
You could not isolate
one from another
Determined to make a
lasting impression for their Mother
Like a family they
understood the commands of the Head
Did nothing different
than what he said
I had not seen
something this unimaginably wow
I was overwhelmed,
ready to take a bow
The crowd cheered as
they marched on, so elegant, yet so strong
On every beat, they
hummed their own song
I knew he was among
them
But could not believe
when had he become such a rare gem
For the person that
he is, respect I always had immense
But today was
different, so many things were now making sense
This guy I knew, had
become something so new
In line with the
toughest few
My pride knew no
bound
With happy tears I
looked around
To be sure it was not
just a happy dream
Oh! For real, I was
surrounded in his gleam
The crowd cheered as
they marched on, so elegant, yet so strong
On every beat, they
hummed their own song
Slowly, the cloudy
sky made way for the bright sun
Like they were
rejoicing the many battles to be won
In the chilly breeze
when they took their “Antim Pag” with their undying zeal
I had goosebumps and
an ice-cold feel
It was not a fear of
the times to come
But the desire to try
and match what he had become
Just the promise to
walk by his side
Enjoying our own
roller coaster ride
For he has brought
bigger smiles, much content, and booming cheer
Just then, their
joyous shrieks I hear
And realize he is
where he always wanted to be
They have broad grins,
but his happy tears I see
Again, The crowd
cheered as they marched on, so elegant, yet so strong
On every beat, they
hummed their own song
As I uncovered those
stars
One hazy image of
ours
Saw a light so
bright, things at once felt right! :)
I cheered as he
marched on, so elegant, yet so strong
On every beat, he
hummed his own song!
