Poem; I followed his fame.

I hated football,
Was never a fan,
Until this man,
Waltzed into my life,
On the TV screen,
Clean-cut, handsome
And it seemed,
Gave his all.
I had never heard his
Name, though he had
Already rose to fame,
But that mattered not
To me, when I watched
Him leap into the air
After scoring a goal
I was hooked, lined
And sinkered at the
Joy on his face, at
Winning for the UK.
I have watched him come
And go over the years,
Standing out  with that
Smile and face,
Of grace.
As I said, I am not
A fan of football,
Until that one moment
So long ago,
When he made my heart
Flow with faith,
That a young man who
Gave all his best, high was
Above the rest,
Yes, David Beckham
Was that man, who
has ended up a rich man,
Due to his own strength,
Long will he remain at length
in my heart.
