| "Super Bowl XLIX" Image from Forbes |
Determination is the key to the kingdom
For when one man falls so does the
other
Like dominoes they will tumble to the
grave
And there is no angel who can save them
Except for those men next to them
called brother
Because in the heat of battle there is
a knave
Who will stand out among the shouting
crowd
Standing taller than a giant, fearsome
and proud.
Bravery withstands even the greatest
fathom
For this is a game of wits and
toughened ardor
A game men play upon that coliseum and
stave
Off against the titans of Olympus for
freedom
Yelling and charging, clashing of
steely grandeur
Against all odds they fought upon that
border
Sweat and blood all over their faces
and shroud
For this is the day their victory
shined out loud.
Author Note: A tribute to the
Patriots for winning their fourth Superbowl in 14 seasons.
Ha, I watched the game as well. I had hoped for the Seahawks because they had beat my team - the Packers. My rationale was that if the Seahawks won at least that would prove how very good the Seahawks were, that in fact they were unbeatable. With a Patriot win, this did not prove that. Sigh. But actually I am not generally a fan of either team. Go Pack & Aaron Rodgers - next year. Smiles. Anyway, all that aside, you wrote a nice tribute poem. And it was quite an exciting game.
ReplyDeleteThe Packers are a really good team, and Aaron Rodgers is a good leader for them. My dad would have completely agreed with you because he is a Packers fan too. Both teams fought a tough battle. It was a great super bowl this year.
