He Is... The Football Player
Location
He sits, waiting
Waiting to seize his moment
Seconds feel like hours
Why does time go by so slow?
He feels his heart beat
Blood throbs through his veins
The anticipation is unbearable
His stomach is in knots
His nerves are overwhelming
But yet, excitement surrounds him
His teammates, his coaches, and himself
Teeming with excitement
Eyes shimmering like crystal balls
He starts his march
His brothers by his side
He hears the huge crowd roar
He sees the bright lights shining on the field
He feels the fresh cut grass beneath his cleats
He knows this is where he belongs
Sweat drizzles off his face
His heart pounds out of his chest
This is his moment, his life, his world
The ball is snapped and his life begins
He is… The Football Player
Year after year, he plays
Every game, every snap, with all his heart
Hundreds of games he plays
But it has to end
He knows it is his last game
His last chance, his last moment
He sits, waiting
Hours feel like seconds
Why does it go by so fast?
He feels his heart beat
Blood throbs through his veins
The anticipation is unbearable
He marches, one last time
His brothers by his side
His heart seems to stop
He hears nothing but sharp ringing
He sees the crowd stand to their feet
He steps on the field for the final game
Sweat drizzles off his face
His heart pounds out of his chest
This is his moment, his life, his world
The ball is snapped and the game begins
He is… The Football Player
He sits, waiting
Waiting for the coaches final speech
He feels a knot form in his throat
His eyes begin to haze
His head throbs while fighting the urge to cry
He gives in as tears stream down his face
Where has the time gone?
He sits, waiting
Waiting to watch the big game
He feels his heart beat
Blood throbs through his veins
The anticipation is unbearable
He sits, waiting
Waiting to cheer on his son
Because he knows
This is his moment, his life, his world
The ball is snapped and his life begins
He is forever… The Football Player

Just went through these same feelings as a senior football player. Didn't want the game to ever end with some of my best friends ever.

This was amazing. I felt the same way about my senior volleyball season just this year.
