The Beautiful Sport

Red-nosed cold
Ball stings upon contact
Warm inside
Spreading like wildfire in my heart
Standing ovation
Girls screaming
Girls crying
First-steps-of-a-baby pride
Courage of a lioness
Irish green and snow white opposition
Obsidian-clad allies
Gloomy clouds
Cheering instructing forewarning
An unmistakable sound
Ball hits back of the net
Standing ovation
On-top-of-the-world
Can I stay up here?
Heartbeat in my ears
Fast breathing
Underdog proved worth
Blow of a whistle
All over
Standing ovation
Left my heart on the field
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where is it?
In first place.
