Let’s Get On the Green Pitch

Let’s Get On the Green Pitch
By Laijon Liu 20090413
Poem for our Chinatown Soccer Club in New York City,
To Coach Gerhard and all playmates and teammates:-)

Let’s get on the green pitch
Be our own devils or gods
No more waiting weeps
And no more sideline talks

Let’s get on the grassy field
Before the dews drop off
There we shed our sweat
And there we taste our tear

Let’s get on the cradle bed
Before the world wakes us
There we swing in our dream
And there we look up to stars

Let’s get on with our ball
Before this magic stops
There we chase and fall
There our love never short

Let’s get on and get on
Till that whistle shouts
No more games or dreams
No more breath and no more
