Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Sports Transcend Time

How wonderful life is and what sports mean to me
For others, something to do at night to see

An escape from the world and free from mental exhaust
As an outburst of screams, until my voice is lost   

Feeling intimately under a spell of inhibitions
Abandoning of normal restraints and conditions

Feeling intimately involved in the game
Teasing, defeat, in a moment of fame

It goes beyond bringing out the best, and the worst
Long after the game is played my team is still first

Bringing out the real life primal in me and my chums fun
And a scaffold shared between father and son

Thank you for the compliment ~*
