Metal Benches
The metal benches,
Seem cold and unfriendly,
You can never seem to be comfortable,
But I think about the past,
When I sat on those benches,
Cheering and shouting.
My mind wanders back to a simpler time,
When they played,
I remember being cold,
But now, I long for it.
I remember not getting it,
Hardly ever paying attention.
I remember celebrating victories,
And being quiet over losses.
I remember waiting,
Waiting for the chance,
To tell them they were great,
To tell him he was great.
I remember traveling,
great distances to see,
My inspiration,
Right in front of my face.
I remember the lights,
How I would love to see them now.
The metal benches bring a comfort,
Only I would understand,
But of all of those memories,
I remind my self,
All those boys are gone,
Off to see the world.
I wish I could go back,
And watch it all again.
For you see,
I loved him,
Now you're wondering who,
The quarter back of 2009,
My inspiration,
My brother.
