there’s a reason they call it the ‘beautiful game’
indeed, I fell in love with its charm when I was but a child
it has taught me so much about this life we live…
how to be jubilant in victory,
and gracious in defeat
that the man across from me is my opponent, but never my enemy
and when the final whistle sounds, and the points have been settled,
it is humanity that has won
united by our collective love for the ‘beautiful game’
