With the local football club he plays under fourteen <br />In their football colours the black, brown and green <br />He dreams in the A F L he will star one day <br />Against Australia's finest he will be picked to play. <br /> <br />Everytime I see young David he's with the egg shaped ball <br />Playing by himself or with other boys in the park for his age he is tall <br />His dream is to play as number one ruckman for his favourite team Geelong <br />Enjoying a great victory as he sings the Club song. <br /> <br />Most boys of his age have a wish or a dream <br />To win a gold medal or play with a top football team <br />But not all dreams do come true everyone can't know fame <br />Still it is nice to dream of great things just the same. <br /> <br />He is the top ruckboy in his football team <br />And as a player of promise he knows local esteem <br />But few good juvenile players into great players grow <br />And young David he still has a long way to go.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/young-david-the-under-fourteen/
