Smile

My second hockey season was the greatest
After every game I would record my points
Goals, and assists

There was a trophy for most improved player
And I was sure people had noticed me
At the awards ceremony the award came up
And went
To someone else
Someone who had scored one goal

People thought it was kind of funny
Thought he was a bit of a joke
So they gave the award to him
He smiled
Without realizing he was being funny

When he walked around showing off the trophy
He smiled at me
Like he was never going to smile again
And I smiled to him
Knowing that I would

Really interesting read!  Is this a true story?  It reads like it is!  How cool!  Glad you shared it, your time will come!  Back to the top this goes!

So nice to see that an athlete and a poet can co-exist in the same skin.......
