I love you more than my old soccer cleats, <br />The ones I’ll never give up. <br />I love you more than the perfect field, <br />The one I use to warm up. <br />I love you more than my soccer ball, <br />The one that’s perfect for amazing passes. <br />I love you more than me running along those different types of grasses. <br />I love you more than the cheering crowds, <br />The stands made out of plaster. <br />I love you more than that perfect kick, <br />That I have yet to master. <br />I love you more than my soccer cleats the ones that hold all reason. <br />I love you more than my coach, my soccer team and my season. <br />I love you more than winning that world cup, <br />That we have yet to reclaim. <br />I can’t believe I love you more than the beautiful game.<br /><br />Gab Oso<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beautiful-game-soccer/
