Those Octobers
Location
(Disclaimer- I am not 40 years old. I am writing this from what I believe my perspective will be 40 years from now)
It's been awhile
40 years to be exact
but of all my time and experience
one memory remains intact
the days of my prime
when I was sublime
my body was powerful
unmarred by time
I was an athlete
feared by all
the other team quaked
when i carried the ball
my team was a band of brothers
though we came from different mothers
and me and football
were inseperable like two lovers
much time has passed
since those days long ago
and though I'm not wise
there is one thing I know
though I prayed
and wished upon 4-leaf clovers
Never in my life
was there a time like those Octobers
