Playoffs


Hard work always pays off.
That is my thought as I walk onto the field.
Always excited to play, I am the first one there.
I lace up and am ready to go.

The others arrive and join me.
Silence is among us as we focus on what is ahead.
Coach comes and gives the talk.
With that in our heads we are all pumped up.

The warm-ups come.
The goals come.
The final whistle blows and just like that it is over.
We have won.

We are overtaken by the glory we have fought for.
In all our celebration we remember how badly we have always wanted this moment.
It is the greatest experience of my life.
Too bad it is all a dream.
