More Than Just a Picture

The smell of the new cut well groomed grass fills your nose as you dig those first step in your cleats deep into the ground. It feels like stepping onto a cloud, it feels like home. The touch of that black and white ball surrounds your feet and you feel as if its nature for you to touch it and caress it with such warmth and passion. It feels at place by your feet as you keep it and never want to let go. You see a couple of big muscular men that stand in the way to your destination, the goal. You feel that rush and vibe flow through your veins as you fly by one, and then another. The electricity flowing through you is amazing, and you feel as if your on top of the world. But only one person still stands in your way. You tell yourself that you got this, and that this is where you belong. The giant white rectangle in front of you all of a sudden seems smaller and smaller as the person in it seems to grow bigger and bigger. But you don't let it stop you, you put all your effort into it as you feel the wind in your face hit you harder. You put all your force in your next step, and let it out. You hold your breath for the next few seconds as if the time paused for a split second. You did it......goal.
