With Twenty~five seconds left on the clock,
the fans roared with excitement ~
the stands rolled and rocked.

It was Mirer to Bettis, a touchdown was scored,
it's now 16-15
is anyone bored?
From "Land of the Fighting Irish" from Poet's Crossing

Life is only as sacred or special as you say it is. Therefore, one must find the joy in the everyday things of life.
