Where hearts are shattered and tears silently weep
A football club emerges, a beacon of hope
For bereaved fathers, a lifeline to cope

Our spirits soar, in every cheer
Through the pain, a bond so strong
A football club where we belong

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 There are days when darkness clouds the soul
Yet its okay to feel down, to feel the toll
When sadness lingers, heavy in our hearts
For in acceptance, healing finds its start

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Through fields of green, we come together
Bound by grief, we share forever
Proudly we wear our children’s names
On the back of our shirts, an eternal flame

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 For our lost little ones, taken too soon
Their memory cherished, like the brightest moon
A club formed with purpose, to heal and unite
To channel emotions, to find strength in the fight

Through laughter, through tears, our spirits reveal
A space where memories bloom, cherished and dear
And our lost little ones forever remain near
