When I Saw You MAG
When I saw you
With the beads of sweat dripping down your flushed face
Your pride radiatingfrom your sweat-soaked shirt
I could almost hear that famous beat of the athlete’sheart
When I saw you
Your crooked smile brighter than I’ve ever seen
And youreyes scrunched up with glee
That small, dirty gym never seemed so grand
When I sawyou
With your arms fully extended
Holding that plastic gold trophy
Above your head intriumph
When I saw you
Celebrating with your teammates
Jumping up and down like achild
Your cry of glory never sounded so pure
When I saw you
I knew that you had beenwaiting for this moment
Since you were a little kid playing in the park
On Avenue L and FifthStreet
When I saw you
Signing your name
On the Men’s Basketball LeagueChampionship banner
Your chicken scratch never was that artistic
When I saw you
Iimmediately knew
That a small part of you
Would be a kid forever
