Home: Student recounts science fair participation
March 10, 2017
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
