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!
