Ode to volleyball
The pressure of trying
Wanting to be
More than what you can
“The best player of the team”.
Chances won’t come
If you don’t strive.
An ace is what you want
Spike, serve, pass are what I take.
The new friends I met,
Different point of views,
The goal we are set
Will make a teammate.
Blue, gray, white jersey
Based on the decision you made.
A moment of fault,
It changed the whole game.
Volleyball will pay
For all the hard work you put
Decision of choice
It will be on you.
Volleyball is not just a sport. It is the hard work you put in and practice to achieve the goal of becoming the good players in the team. This poem is praise your hard work on the volleyball
