Kicking My Dreams Around Childhood
¶ 1

All those years of what will be
And what really came to pass
The times I knew just really knew
My chance had come at last

The winning goals I dreamed I’d score
The foot the slipper wore
The key that opened opportunity
My name upon its door

From cut out stars on bedroom walls
The moves I copied close
The blinding runs across the park
The goals that hit the post

Witnessed by the silent trees
The broken glass I dodged
It didnt matter much to me
That no one stopped to watch

Shin pads broken like the dreams
Old laces left in mud
And like my hopes all cut and bruised
And parcelled up in blood

What happened to the bloom of youth
The promise of the vine
Did someone shake the bottle turning
Water back from wine

Perhaps its life itself that draws
The lotteries we choose
Then juggles like a politician
In avoidance of the truth

Oh candid favours once to taste
Once more the dreams I dreamed
Pull on the shirt lace up the boots
This weary life to leave

A child again a child again
We all must one day be
Our hearts find home a football pitch
And the grass so very green.
