The pigskin flies back and forth
on the small screen.
The team is up, the team is down.
When we take sides in any contest
defeat is always suited up
on the sidelines, ready to come in.
I am watching with my son
home from college.
I remember the first half of our life together
and the first downs, our strong defense,
our bold playbook.
Now it seems like there are more injuries
more third downs, more Hail Marys.
I get nervous but I know we are on the same team
and we play for the love of the game.
