The word came to me
there had been an accident
A sports accident
My Grandson was rushed to emergency
He had been struck in the head
The ball indented in his cheeks
His eye was hanging from it's socket
Cheekbone broke in three places
Also his nose and several teeth
Humpty dumpty they put him together again
He was out of sports for a year
He walked to the sideline and watched practice
The coaches called time out and the boys
rushed over to embrace him
He went back to playing baseball
A year out of sports he was rusty
But not rusty enough not to be a starter
and one of the top three hitters
But he lost his place in football
No longer a running back due to concussions
So at the football awards banquet
It was such a surprise
The coaches award goes to ---
A player who exemplified Woodinville football
His name added on the golden football
How well he celebrate baseball practice is beginning
