Out there
Playing hockey on the ice.
That is an athlete.
You are not a parent,
You are a spectator.
You do not call the game,
The referee does.
An individual trained
To make the calls
And
Who has probably been to more games
Than you.
A professional.
Even if you don't agree.
You don't lead the team,
The coach does.
Another trained individual.
Enjoy the game as it is being played
For you.
Cheer for your team.
That is an athlete,
Not your son or daughter.
