My son's high school football days ended last night. My poem:

"No More Standing in the Rain"

The practice, the toil, the sweat and tears
It was all real...for four straight years
The boiling summer heat. Almost too much to take
The winter workouts...up at dark..a better man to make

Growing leaps and bounds, the coaches on the prowl
The meetings...the x's and o's, and the grunts and growls

The cleats. The girdles. The pads and straps
Getting them ready for the next day's laps

The wins. The losses. The frustrations. The OT thrills
The trips. The meals. The midnight bus rides through the hills

Four years of dedication and now no more pain
and no more standing in the rain

Proud of you son
You won
