poem of the day April 12


I was back
at the track
Back sitting 
in the grandstand
It had been over twenty years
since I had last watched
the hundred yard dash
It seemed like yesterday
The uniforms were still 
blue and gold
Excitement  still
hung in the air
The young faces
at the starting gate
were full of the same
High School hope
It made me wonder
about the march of years
About early dreams of a lifetime
It made me wonder
How past faces
had fared since 
running through the door
