Ode to a Soccer Ball
Oh, I love how you can take every hit that comes your way.
When living to the very old age.
When you pop you are of no use,
But until that day youre my friend.

No matter how big or small the opponent is, you hold your ground and face them head on.
Size matters in all the possible ways,
5 is the size for a game,
2 is the size of technique.

I love how you rub against my ADIDAS cleat when I dribble and how you skim the top of the
freshly cut grass, that has that morning dew on it, when I go for the shot.
