This is for all those who just want to play the game, regardless of gender, gender identity, or appearance.
​
THEY BELONG (48 words)
By Tina Mowrey

“Come one, come all!”

But
my cleats,
my ball,
my passion,
Aren’t welcome. 

“Wait!” 
Stubbornness
and Pride
by my side,
But I stall.

Kick the ball

Our skills
On display
Every day

We show up 
To play 
Our team, full
we are they 
And ALL are welcome
Here.
