STRIKING EAGLES SOCCER CLUB

The fullbacks are coming: the die has been cast.

Mom and Dad cannot help him, he moves all alone.

A score at this moment would send the team home.

The ball meets his boot; he kicks and he misses.

There is a groan from the crowd, with some boos and some hisses.

A thoughtless voice cries,, "Take him out."

Tears fill his eyes; the game's no longer fun.

So open your heart and give him a break.

For it's moments like this, a man you can make.

Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.

He's just a little boy and not a man yet.
