THE GAME

I remember the first time I signed up

They took my name assigned my equipment and taught me THE GAME

I always had dreams of being the star player

Football was my game from the start

I had always played with heaps of heart

THE GAME started at pee wee to junior high to freshman year to where I am today

My very last high school game

I have become the player I always dreamt to be

THE GAME taught me many aspects of life

I became a leader a man and a better person

THE GAME shaped the person I have become today

To put God first, be committed, have integrity, work hard, and never betray

THE GAME I started so long ago

Time flies by and now I am down to my last

I put the uniform on and wear it with cougar pride

I am ready to go for my one last ride

I have become part of a family and bond that can never be broken

The memories I have made with stick with me for as long as I live

The time spent with my brothers and coaches

Will always be one of the best parts of my life

so hears to my last Friday night lights

This is a poem I wrote about my feelings towards football. It's been a game I loved since I was a little boy.
