That Extra Yard

That Extra Yard
 
The end stretches up,
Forth, and beyond
That familiar playground
For all who dare
Relinquishment is a
Forbidden thought
That extra yard
My extra yard
 
I run, I persist
I bleed, I live
I have my place
My allegiant creed
For football takes
Me to my fate
I breathe it all in
For that extra yard
