My Game

One time when I was on the team

I slapped into the net.

I felt so bad I could have cried

I knew I should have set.

 

But when the game was on the line

My inner strength came out.

My serve was overhand and hard

The fans made one loud shout!

 

A break I took went by so quick,

My fuel returned to me.

In the nick of time I rejoined,

They saw me as the key.

 

We rallied hard and fast and strong,

We did not give an inch.

When one got tired or worn out,

We counted on the bench.

 

To hear and feel and see it all,

Playing for fame and fun.

There is no "I" in team we proved,

You know what's next, we won!

 

The team was thrilled and riled up.

We had attained our aim.

We all had played our very best,

I know this is my game.
