My Football

A ball unlike any other on earth.
It is perfectly shaped.
A white, yellow and green lemon.
When I kick it into the wide open skies,
It looks like a star, glistening bright in the night sky,
Or a bird, flying freely, soaring up high above me.
Surprisingly, sometimes it looks like a missile, trying to hit a target, turning and tossing through the air.
It is the most desired and adored thing of my childhood.
I pass it happily in any direction I want.
The first time I held it, it was like a dream, a wish that came true.
I play with it every day of the week, even when I sleep in my dreams.
This ball is a big a part of me.
I hope I never lose my Football….
