The Goalkeeper

The goalkeeper is a lonely man
who keeps the goal as best he can.
He dedicates both life and soul
to stopping shots upon his goal.
There was one once who was the best-
his name is obvious it,s Gordon West.
There was another whom England owed their thanks,
his name of course-the great Gordon Banks.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
