Having been involved as coach, a father
And now as Grandfather
I praise those who are involved parents
Yesterday Nine o'clock the Ice Arena
First game of day starts at ten
For us good results a 5-1 win
Dad leaves to take older son
to basketball practice and football awards
Both teams have parents in the stands cheering
Forty five minute drive to Volleyball match
Daughter plays sports too
Also good results Woodinville is going to state
This means next week parents drive across the pass
Grandparent take boys to their games
An hour and a half drive to state playoffs
Mom and Dad have ten hour a day jobs
For today game over second hockey game at five
Drive to Everett Ice arena AllStar game
T-birds down 5-0 third period a rally
Grandson skakes on a breakaway rebound
Rebound is punched back in 5-1 and assist
Seconds later he races in and scores a goal 5-2
Some of these kids have already played one game
Another assist 5-3 one more goals then 5-4
No one could tell the kids they lost even as
Time ran out they were about to score a fifth goal.
This is praise for soccer parents,football parents
For parents who are involved with their kids
The Woodinville volleyball team is proud
The lowest grade point on their team volleyball team, 3.2
Thirteen players are 3.6 or better
Through all the sports learning is important
In praise of good parenting
Grandson gave up select hockey for a better schooling
It was interfering with doing his homework traveling
In praise of parents doing this everyday
