Whack to the face for Charlie this weekend 🫣 and here’s a poem to go with it 📖
“The Keeper’s Courage” 🧤⚽️ I stood my ground between the posts, My heart was brave, my hands were ghosts. The ball came fast — I didn’t blink, Just one hard thud — no time to think. It smacked my face, a mighty whack, The crowd went quiet, echoing back. My eyes welled up, I fought the tears, The sting rang loud between my ears. But goalkeepers aren’t made to fall, We stand up proud, we save it all. A little pain, a little red, Won’t stop the fire inside my head. So next time that ball comes my way, I’ll dive again — come what may. For bruises fade, but courage stays, And heroes rise on matchday days.
