One Last PlayA Poem by Nathanael LockefordThe last play of the last game I'll ever play and this is it.
Have you ever felt it?
The adrenaline coursing through your veins Heart racing Sweat pouring Eyes locked with the enemy across from you Football Wait for the whistle Now the snap Surge forward Contact The sound of pads smacking against each other The shouts of your brothers standing at your back The cheers of the crowd pouring over you Fight for position Get to the outside Eye on the ball Chase down the running back Crash! Knowing you got him Seeing the ground come up at you Feeling the pressure of those joining you Hearing the grunt as he loses all air and smashes into the ground He's Down We've won!
