Jim Yerman Soccer Poems

I watched Ava's soccer game the other day
and amidst the excitement…the applause…the cheers
I realized I've been watching our children and grandchildren play soccer…for over 40 years.
...

I love watching Ava play soccer, the girls don’t play for money or acclaim
To them it’s not a matter of life or death, to them, it’s just a game.

They’re so young they don’t play with a goalie and they don’t even keep score
...
