I Almost
I almost won a super bowl ring.
I almost challenged Tom Brady.
I almost was named M.V.P.
I was almost the quarterback.
I almost played football though.
Remember when I said I was going to try out?
In seventh grade?
Come on Dad!
I almost danced in the Nutcracker.
I was almost the prima ballerina.
I almost had a standing ovation.
I almost wowed the audience and received a Tony award.
I almost took those dance lessons through, right Mom?
Mom!
Didn’t I almost take dance lessons?
Remember then you said “Maybe” when I was four?
I was almost a success.
Unfortunately, my parents stood in my way.
