Dear Football
I remember when you and I first met

As a first grader

Running around with my cousins

From my first catch

I knew you and I were meant to be

From family and friends

To teammates and supporters

I learned teamwork and discipline

This was all thanks to you

You gave me a chance

To grow as an athlete

And express my love for the game

You gave me a mentor and helped me build friendships

Even from a young age

I knew we were meant to be

Because even when things got hard

I never gave up on you

I find confidence through you

In every play I make

You motivate me to be competitive

To give my all and lead my team to victory

I will never forget

How it felt to run down the field

With you in my hands

And nervousness in my heart

That first touchdown,

I was nervous to even have the ball,

Everybody on the other team chasing after you,

The crowd cheering

I knew I was very fast

It was just the stomach feeling that I got

It made me get tired faster

My first touchdown pass,

It was in the first or second game

I hiked the ball

And just let it fly to my open teammate

It got easier when I got more confident in my throw

The passion of football has helped me a lot

On and off the field

Especially in school

Because my mom always told me

“If you do good in school you don't participate”

And if I want to go to practice and games

I have to do good in school

Love,
Kaidan
