Smiling faces

Gleaming eyes

Days full of science surprise

The leaders of tomorrow

And scientists of today

They stun me

I’m amazed, impressed

In every way

5 years and counting

50 hours and still

I couldn’t imagine

No longer being

Involved

It’s my baby

My love

What I will protect

Now as I stand here

In a quiet moment

Writing down my thoughts

At work

after my upgraded, successful 5th year

I realize how much it all means

I know I’ve loved

I’ve cared since day one

Afterall, I was once

In their shoes

But finally, for a moment

I let it all sink in,

These blue stars on my name badge

hold a different meaning

The memories I’ve made

Will be here for the long run

I can only hope that someone

Will come along

And know

This science fair is home
