Cheers to a place that has witnessed my growth
As I have turned into a better me than I used to be
The fountain in front of the Nebraska Union
that many had soaked their feet
along with conversations that brought laughter and tears
Huskers would hold a cup of coffee under the trees
writing their uncompleted assignments
and there is me
lying in the hammock
enjoying the exceptionally nice weather in Nebraska today
There is an old saying in Nebraska that
if you don't like the weather, just wait a while.
It can be snowing on a random day in April and
kids can be outside with their tees and shorts playing football on the next day
Football season attracts the sea of red
cheering Go Big Red
The Memorial Stadium still holds an ongoing record
of consecutive sellouts and
on every game day
the stadium becomes the third largest city in the State of Nebraska
As a wise friend once said
The color of Nebraska is red
and the color of your blood is red
Therefore,
Nebraska will always run through your veins.
There is truly
No Place like Nebraska.
