Rugby Ball

My hopes, my passion
everything to play for.
It’s like golden treasure —
people are eager for ball.

Player’s feet drum the field.
Their screams echo through air.
My confidence starts fading,
but still a small fire inside burns.

My emotions run through my veins
making me crazy for the ball.
I look at the opponents flaming eyes
I’m more and more hungry.

I’m grateful I play for this jersey
this team, this family —
it still makes me strong
and humble in the heart.
