Notes About The Poem

Well Played

The photo is of Brennan, my three and a half year old grandson. He's fully focused on everything he does ~ sports, art, Pixar cars...and yes, cartoon videos...however...read on.

A soccer player at the age of three
with a cherub face and dimpled knee
this child was born from my progeny

Intently focused on kicking the ball
his aim was straight and he didn't fall
"SCORE!" everyone laughed at the call

Four goals that day he proudly made
but two for the other team, I'm afraid
He didn't care. Nor did I. Well played!
