A Wrestler's
Biggest Fan
by Jo-Ann Innis
That's my little boy,
Mat two, He's on deck,
He's the one who tries to look so confident,
While I sit here a wreck,
I sit watching nervously,
Biting my nails and shaking in my seat
Praying for a victory and not a quick defeat
Please don't let him be hurt, Please let him be all right
After all this is why he practices so hard, Almost every night
I'll just suffer through it and give him my support
Wondering why sometimes, he ever chose this sport
But when it's finally over
and he makes it through "the three"
Nothing can beat the look on his face,
That look of VICTORY!
The look that says "I did it, hey mom did you see?"
And when the ref holds up his hand,
I know why he chose this sport
And when the victory goes the other way,
I still give him my support
There's always next time as long as you try,
A mom never fails to say
You're always a champion in my eyes son,
and you'll always be that way
A mom is a wrestler's biggest fan,
Cause she knows what's in his heart
She knows his dedication and how he tries so hard,
It's hard for a mom to sit and watch As her
son gets pinned
And it's hard not to get emotional
as you watch your baby win
Seeing his eyes search for you
while you're sitting in the stands
Making sure you saw every move turn out
just the way he planned
Because every wrestler knows,
That his mom is his biggest fan!
