Soccer Game

Today there is a soccer game

And I can’t wait to play.

I’m heading for the field,

I hope it’s an amazing day.

I am playing goalie,

I feel the fresh air,

Then what I see, exciting as can be,

The ball flying through the air!

I call to the defense,

The offense hears as well.

The ball is moving way to fast,

It was kicked by a boy named Drell.

I try to back up,

How I wish that ball were tame!

After that I felt a conk

And on the ground I’m laying lame.

My team-mates all rush over.

They ask, “Are you OK?”

I just lay there saying,

“So much for that amazing day!”

My coach says he is sorry.

He knows I’m feeling down.

He thinks that he has cheered me up,

But still I wear a frown.

Today I learned to watch the ball

Although I really cried,

Now I know that it’s OK,

At least I know I tried!
