I'm writing this on a Friday because those bright Friday night lights
are turning into dim Thursday night lights.
The bleachers are losing voices each quarter,
and with each 6 points were down by,
there seems to be one less confetti cannon going off.
or high school for that matter.
but...
Maybe a year from today I'll be envying the high school students
and wishing to be back under those lights,
even if they were dim that Thursday night.
Maybe the only dim lights I'll be under, are the ones in libraries,
illuminating down on the books I should be reading,
for test I should be taking.
And maybe
just Maybe.
I'll wish I hadn't taken those sad Thursday lights for granted.
This made me sad.
ReplyDeleteBecause we lost.
And because #senioryear

It's not easy to write good stuff about football. But you did it.

ReplyDeleteI know the feeling
"Maybe I'll wish I hadn't taken those sad Thursday nights for granted." #stolen. I feel you right now, being on the team has sucked so far but maybe it will be worth it in the end.
ReplyDeleteWe read this in class today.
ReplyDeleteA bunch of football players read it in a couple classes.
It was magical.
I'm not making that up.
