The Athletic Animal
April 11, 2016
An athlete with dedication others can’t match.
The eyes of many, she is sure to catch.
A step on the field fills her opponents with fear.
The starting whistle grows near.
Humbly striding into the field,
Her legs, the powerful weapons she yields.
Years of practice in her body and mind.
A win she is destined to find.
With the blow of the whistle,
a beast is released.
Blasting the ball with the power of a missile.
The path of the ball, direct and precise.
Playing the game without any vice.
A gifted player, essential to the team.
Making plays that cause the crowd to scream.
Working hard the whole game. No excuse.
Straining, pushing, not allowing her muscles to be loose.
Never quitting as her legacy unfolds,
A successful future she surely holds.
