They hummed their own Song!

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!
