Football Days with Daddy

by *Chels & Britt*   Jan 10, 2006


I woke up this Sunday Morning
With the smell of football atmoshpere
I can not believe the day has come
New football games for this year!

Time to break out the chips and dip
The pop, and koolaid, too
Start makin' bets with dear old Daddy
This year..he is through!

I slip out of my pajama top
Throw that jersey I got for Christmas on
My brother jokingly says its ugly
But my game today will prove he's wrong

The phones been ringing off the hook
Finally I answer and get it out of the way
It's my best friend wanting to hang out
Are you kidding?! It's football day!

I tell mom to enjoy her soaps
While I make my way downstairs
There I see dad has the snacks setting out
Bright and early, he's already prepared

My team is playing today
They better not just play around
Five bucks is riding on this game
And Dads team is lying there on the ground!

The halftime show was great
Now lets get back on track
I'm so nervous about this game
We about ate all the snacks

The score is way too close
My team only down by a field goal
TOUCHDOWN! My team!
Right through that open hole

Coach says we have nothing to lose
We go for a two pointer
There is one of the best receivers
Who catches the pass in the corner

The score is 29-24
With a minute and a half left to go
We have to hold them right here
Defense, put on a good show!

We held them no way!
The clock now ticks down to zero
I just won five dolllars
I am my own hero!

I surely picked the right team
As my dad pays me the five
Too bad we weren't at that stadium
Watching this game live

But I'm still a winner
Once again his little girl got her way
Every Sunday morning and night
Its just me and daddy on our football day

    Awesome poem Chels and Britt !!
    You can feel the love flowing throughout the whole piece . A beautiful picture painted of the importance of family bonding . Just sharing a special day of watching football could be one of the most special memories a child or adult could carry with them for their entire life.

    A beautiful poem that brought back many happy memories of my dad and I watching a hockey game together .Even though I hate hockey just sitting beside my dad spending time together is something I will always remember .
