Autumn Air

The smell of autumn’s leaves fill the air Friday night lights shine down with their encouraging faces Giving hope, pumping adrenaline through the brave football players They’ll win the game tonight Music crescendos fill the crisp air Audiences crowd the seats to hear beautiful songs Students smile with joy, they’re making melodies Music is all we need Actors and actresses play tonight In the home they have come so easily to know as theirs Seats full and set done, costumes and makeup on, their hearts fill the stage Magic is made tonight Softballs, volleyballs soaring through air Quickly sliding across the ground to catch or spike the ball Their jerseys askew and their hearts racing fast they make their next move The crowd stands to cheer victory
