"Let’s Play"

They stand on the field with their hearts beating fast

to block that ball they run with pride

  When the whistle blows, first quarter was the past

 They got a goal, now game is tied

Mom and Dad watch close, they stand all alone

Another goal at this moment would send the team home

The ball near their feet, they kick and it misses

There’s a moan from the crowd,

Some boos and some hisses

 "Can’t believe you couldn’t block that one"

.....a thoughtless voice yells out

Tears fill their eyes, its no longer fun

If you're ever tempted to shout or to groan

Just remember it might be your child, who stands all alone

So open your heart, for their sake

Its moments like this, they need a break

Keep this in mind, please do not forget

They're only children, not Pros yet
