I can smell the aroma of the new boots and fresh clothes.
I can hear the deafening sound outside the shop.
The noises of the children who are cheerful
and also the sounds of people who are fearful.
Millions of thoughts skedaddle around my mind
but who knows what I will find?

Should I get a ball?
Or will that make me trip a great fall?
Should I buy a bat?
Or will that hit the neighbouring cat?
What should I get?
What should I get?

Then I decide, a pair of goalkeeper gloves
I hope it’s not the one for picking up grubs.
They may be broken apart
but the feeling will still stay inside my heart
of when I received
first pair of goalkeeper gloves.
