He was born to a family <br />Way to the north. <br />All he ever wanted to do <br />Was shoot a puck or two <br /> <br />He could skate better than he could walk <br />So he practiced and practiced <br />As hard as he could, <br />Just so he could shoot a puck or two. <br /> <br />Into a fine young man he grew <br />At least 6’ plus two <br />He played and played all through school <br />Just so he could shoot a puck or two. <br /> <br />He grew to be lightning fast, <br />As his slap shot is 90 or more <br />And his team knew <br />He could shoot a puck or two <br /> <br />So in the future, when you watch him play <br />Just know that he plays and plays <br />Just so he can shoot a puck or two <br />For you<br /><br />Linda Franklin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-grew-to-be-lightning-fast/
