#85

He waits all week for game day
and can't sleep the night before.
He puts on his equipment and heads out the door.
At the field he gets in position and is prepared to play. 
He wants to sack the quarterback
that's his goal today.
As the other team hikes the ball there goes eight five.
He plays without fear as he picks up his stride. 
He makes his way through the line determined to meet his goal, He sacks the quarterback 
and hears the whistle blow. As he walks off the field, helmet in his hand he knows he showed 
no fear and was willing to take a stand.
He dreams of some day playing in the Super Bowl where he will sack the Quarterback and 
hear the whistle blow. He knows he has the determination and the skills to reach his goal. He 
knows his dreams will come true, as only a seven year old would know
