Kick the ball <br />And score the goal <br />Respond to call <br />And jump the wall <br /> <br />Fortune favors <br />The strike offers <br />Rare opportunity <br />To prove the skill and quality <br /> <br />Not ball alone moves <br />But feet too proves <br />Enormous strength <br />With presence of mind and long breathe <br /> <br />Mighty survives <br />The game revives <br />The hope of millions <br />The pride of nations <br /> <br />No one may prefer <br />To be out of tune and differ <br />It is game of giants <br />To rule the world at present <br /> <br />No signal shall block <br />The full strength and strokes <br />The winner may finally kick <br />With ever green golden stick<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-golden-stick/
