I got you in the summer, 2009
I played with you till the sun went down
I kicked you goal after goal
And assist after assist
The crowd roared and jumped on their feet
After I touched the ball with the side of my cleats
As I watched the goalie pull the ball from the back of the net
I started jumping and screaming to the crowd
Which only made the crowd scream louder and louder
Then after a bit they sat back down and started again
You were the first ball I ever got
And I really favoured you a lot
When I opened you on Christmas morning
A smile appeared on my face
I kicked you around the house and broke my mums favourite vase
After that day you discovered my new favourite hobby
and I've been doing it for most of my life
I’ve played for 9 years and every season
You have made me the soccer player I am today
So I thank you and goodnight
