The
game on the field
The
ball keep rolling away
The
strikers and mid-fielders
Roaming
round the ball
A
few pot-shots at goal
The
goalkeeper manages to reflect it away
But
the marks on his palms
It
tells of a different story
The
harwork on practises
Catching
the ball rolling away
Showing
no fear against the lethal strikers
He
makes it work for a time
The
supporters singing loud
Shouting
his name to a high
The
musical tone ringing in his ear
He
feels good to guard his post
Then
out of the blue
Before
he even sees the ball
A
spot kick is taken quickly
The
striker kicks the ball curve into goal
The
silence on the stand
The
goalkeeper can't explain
He
stands there without moving
He
can't believe it is a goal!
The
low of his life
He
finds it hard to swallow
He
guards it so well
Until
lapse of concentration
What
now?
The
record stands
He
allows a ball to hit the net
He
never sees it coming
