A MESSAGE TO THE SOCCER QUEEN



Your actions are what define you as a champion,

Not the medal adorning your neck,

Nor the FIFA cup triumphantly raised high.

The applause and cheers from the crowd

Were a result of your strategic play,

Approaching the game as a sport, not a battle,

Your mental prowess outweighing your physical abilities.

Do not shoulder the burden alone,

Never forget that victory is a collective effort,

And cooperation is of utmost importance.

The triumph belongs to the team,

For the news may fade away someday,

And the record books will take precedence over the cheering spectators,

As they have many more games to celebrate.

But if the young children run towards you in the streets,

If people embrace you after the match,

If you are celebrated worldwide,

If your name is spoken in admiration,

It will be because of how you played.

Your flawless dribbling techniques,

The remarkable penalty shots you took,

Will speak volumes about your worth,

Beyond the team's victory.

Continue to play like the queen that you are,

Playing with determination is playing smart,

Never let your emotions weaken your guard,

Even in defeat,

Our love for you will remain unwavering,

For we have witnessed your exceptional skills.
