A Ball of Bright Colours

The rainbow that unites, a smile so wide,

The game that unites, together, side by side.

Sharing a moment, you and I, 

The game hasn’t started, and the cheering’s not the loudest.

The happiness of the young yet to spring,

Friends are waiting to be part of the crowd.

Cheerfully and blissfully they wait, 

It’s part of the beautiful game they play,

No matter the shoes or the shade of their skin,

The love of the game lives deep within.

For in the bright colours, a lesson we find,

Unity blossoms in hearts and minds.

So let the ball bounce, let laughter take flight,

Kids joining together, in pure, joyful light.

For sport is a magic, a powerful art,

That weaves us together, right from the very start.
