Bayern Munich 3 Arsenal 1 Mother 0
for Lindiwe

Tomorrow being a school day
still you allowed the boys to stay up past their bed times
to watch the first half of
yet another important match

But they went to bed
grumbling all the same

mumbling them hard-done-to-missed-the-second-half blues
but in truth because their team was losing
and bound to lose


A thankless task
a million times over
is a mother’s love


Goal-less is its aim:
for the love of the players
and for the love of the game
