"The Game"
1st Quarter
I am ready to play this game
The stands are full
Many people came
And I know that I will play so great
That by the end of the game
Everyone will know my name
Right now my head is so full of my future success
I know that in just a short time I can pass this simple test
2nd Quarter
I am a little more exhausted
This game is more difficult than I thought it
would be
You see
I get tired easily
The coach is yelling at me,
My knees are beginning to get weak
And I start to think
What the hek did I get myself into??
I really don't know if I can make it through..
3rd Quarter
I am even more worn out than before
My eyes keep looking at the door
And my body feels as though at any second it could collapse onto the floor
Ouch!! I think one of my ligaments has just torn!
Man, I am so sore
It just seems impossible that I can give much more..
But, the only thing that keeps me going
Is knowing
That the game is ending
I only have one quarter left
Which is all I need for me to reach success
4th Quarter
Yes, victory!
I could not have asked for a better feeling
Even after all of the pain
It was still worth making it to the end of the game
To win and receive all this praise
You know, I have to admit
That during the game I thought I would quit
Or just watch from the bench
But I didn't
I lived it
And the lesson it has taught me is this:
To never give up
Make it through the rain
Because its worth it to see the sun
