Grand Final Day

It lays silently in the freshly cut grass,
Waiting for its moment in time
To rise and be the star of the day.

My footy is as red as blood,
It comes off the boot
with an almighty thump.

It’s time to play the game we all love
to have a kick and a catch
and win the match.

The players line up on the field,
with the feeling of butterflies in their stomach.
The siren sounds and the game is under way,
the players run and begin to play.

As the players exit the field,
half are leaving with a feeling of satisfaction,
whilst the other half are left contemplating their life.
