I Am...

I am a future soccer star.
I wonder if I'll kick a goal.
I hear the screaming of the croud.
I see the goalie saving the ball.
I want to make sure they don't kick a goal.
I pretend to boot the ball.
I feel my heart pump while I get ready for a free kick.
I worry about a knock to the shins.
I hope I don't miss the goals.
I try to get the ball back.
I wish I had got the ball.
I understand the rules of the game.
I say "yes,oh yeah! We have kicked a goal."
I dream of the blue and white flags.
I imagine stepping onto the grass with Melboune Victory.
I believe we can win the game.
I am a Rogie!
