LET CHILDREN PLAY
They stand on the field
with their heart
beating fast.
The whistle has been blown,
the die has been cast.
Mum and Dad cannot help.
They stand all alone
A goal at this moment
would send the
team home
The ball near their feet,
they kick and it misses
Theres a moan from the crowd,
some boos and some hisses
A thoughtless voice cries
“take off the bum”
Tears fill their eyes,
its no longer fun
If you have ever tempted to
shout or groan
Remember its a child who
stands all alone
So open your heart,
give them a break
Its moments like this,
a player you make
Keep this in mind,
please do not forget
Theyre only children, not adults yet
