Two goals
That are real
A top hockey recruit
And a career in aviation
Ever since in cockpit of 727
Only in Africa getting that chance
His goal has been to be a pilot
Hockey well be put aside
Yet it is hockey that provides the education
Last night was his last high school game
Having played semipro a bit boring
He played to help the younger kids
Yet reality he is a young kid
Just this year graduation from high school
Recruited by name hockey programs
He told me he could score anytime he wanted
I thought sure he scores a goal or two every game
In any level three goals is optimal a hat trick
Last game of season scored five goals and two assists
Motivation playing a top goalie in Junior hockey
Like his older brother sports will lead him to education
But five goals--Grandpa well miss hockey
Off we go into the wild blue yonder!
I remember Grandpas dreams
To serve his country
of wearing the Air Force Blues
Yet a pilot I'd never be!
