Worlds Greatest

R Kelly

All eyes were on the score board. It was 17-17 with two minutes to go.The opponent, 19 titles as national rugby champions, had possession of the ball. This is when one team's mountains of preparation will finally pay off. This is when the vision of all the players comes together as one. This is when all your strength combines to become a fortress that no one can enter. Frank's rugby team was sick and tired of being second best. The team had come together like a wild river flowing to its destiny. It all comes down to who wants it more and these underdog players had the determination and desire to come up against their "Goliath".

Frank's team had vowed that each and every player would use every ounce of power and energy they had to knock these guys off their pedestal. In serge of united power Frank poaches the ball, gaining possession. Never before had their minds been so connected and their bodies so synchronized. Each player's trust for his teammate showed as the ball made its way down the field and into the Try-zone. They felt like eagles soaring, or a lion roaring, declaring his position as king of the jungle. As they run and jump towards one another, the energy is electric. Nothing can stop us now.

The score board now reads 22-17. Frank's team is no longer the underdog. Momentum was on Frank's side, but there was still 36 seconds left, and the arrogant opponent was not going to go down with out a final fight. As they desperately kept driving towards our end of the field, they expected to score. Their expected result would be destroyed. A wall of united players stood immovable. It seemed to the players in that wall they had become tall trees, rooted together, arms entwined, bending but never breaking. The opponent joined together as one to push back, but the final seconds had ticked down and the strength of the underdogs had finally prevailed. They were the nations greatest. Frank thought of the words of his favorite song, "I'm that star up in the sky, I'm that mountain peak up high, hey I made it. I'm the worlds greatest! I'm that little bit of hope when my backs against the ropes. Yeah i made it, I'm the worlds greatest." Frank thought, "Does it get any better then this? My team is the world's greatest!"
