As I stand in the

Goalie box

I see everything,

Everyone running, shoving, and fighting

For the ball

I see sweat dripping of their foreheads

Like a

A dripping water faucet

They all have the look of

VICTORY

In their eyes

 

Their striker is running towards me!

My heart is pounding like a

Herd of buffalo,

We are looking eye to eye

The sweat running down his check

Is glistening in the sun light

As he shoots the ball it flies off his foot

and looks like a bullet flying through the air

It is head towards the lower

left corner of the goal.

I leap towards the ball

Hopping to get a hand or finger on it.

I hit the ground and fully extended, reaching for the ball

I grab it and get up

I look at the kid and see a pissed off look in his

Eyes

I just smile and point at him and say “don’t try it

Because I will stop it

AGAIN!!!!”
