I wrote this as my football team was nearing the end of this past season.
*Crunch Time

As we sit here in the dark,
Time is winding down.
Contemplating tasks at hand,
Without the slightest sound.

The door is opened, light shot on,
Silence blown apart.
Intensity, Adrenaline, Excitement pumping,
Ready to do our part.

Standing and waiting back a ways,
Patient for the call.
As we run onto the field,
This night affects us all.

If tonight our victory comes,
Glory is our feeling.
If defeat should be our fate,
We have a year of dealing.

As we focus on our tasks,
Our instinct kicks in.
48 minutes of all you've got,
Up and down, thick and thin.

One for all, and all for one,
Is the warrior call.
As we battle through the game,
the game of football.
