Ex-Soccer Player
Being 8 standing on a field
Green with white lines
Standing there before the crowd came
Stretching on grass
Tying my white and black
Nike soccer shoes
Here comes my team
Wearing a white shirt and blue pants
All girls and ready to go
All of us ready to win a medal
Talking about the game plan
And positions we need to be in
Here she comes all ready to go
Our coach
Aggressive and all set
To win another game
Tall and skinny
Telling us what to do
My position
Goal keeper as I was assigned
Also my favorite position
Kicking the ball away
Catching it right in your hands
And not letting the other team
Score a goal
Now for the best part
Winning the game
Coach jumping up and down
Very proud of us
Parents yelling in happiness
The team in excitement
Bowing are heads to get our medals
