Soccer Dad
Soccer’s fun—but whoops, you fell.
You okay? You did so well!
Here’s a hand, I’ll help you up.
Feeling thirsty? Here’s a cup.
Cheer your teammates, take a rest.
Awesome how you did your best!
Want to go back out? You choose.
You’re a winner. Win or lose!
You okay? You did so well!
Here’s a hand, I’ll help you up.
Feeling thirsty? Here’s a cup.
Cheer your teammates, take a rest.
Awesome how you did your best!
Want to go back out? You choose.
You’re a winner. Win or lose!
