History teaches
So many things
But some of the best
Are left to rest.
26 names
At the start.
20 unknown kids
On the ice.
Collegiate and amateur.
Most barely even knew each other
Many disliked one another.
But in the end
On one Friday night
At five in the afternoon
Those 20 kids
United to
Become known
And loved
And gave a nation
Hope
That things would be okay.
They gave us a chance
To dream again
And to do what many
Hadn't done in a while.
Believe.
A shot and a dream.
The game made them winners
Their spirit made them heroes.
32 years past.
Do you still believe in miracles?
