Little feet bare, on sandy ground
Laughter echoes, joy unbound
A makeshift pitch, where dreams unfold
Children playing soccer, young and bold
In Africa’s heart, where sunbeams bright
Hope and joy, in every kick and flight
No fancy fields, no polished floor
Just the love of the game, and so much more
With every step, a story’s told
Of resilience, of hearts made of gold
Their smiles shine bright, like the morning dew
As they chase their dreams, with a passion anew
In this sandy pitch, they find their delight
A sense of freedom, in the golden light
Their laughter and shouts, a symphony so sweet
As they play the beautiful game, with bare feet
May their joy be contagious, may their hearts stay light
May their love for soccer, guide them through life’s plight.
