Our roots allow us to grow but they never say how tall,
They run hugely and keep us planted, but sometimes we still fall.
Zlatan saw his life struggles and decided to over come,
He looked fear straight in the eyes like a lion, and said I’m not yet done.
Being a child on an immigrant was painful, and the scars cut so deep,
But his dreams kept calling, not allowing him to sleep.
He fought with his heart, assisting till he achieved every goal,
From blood, sweat, Taekwondo and tears, he played soccer with his soul.
With every goal that he scored and each award that he earned,
His urge to be great was a new page that turned.
Injury could not stop him, nor the transfer between teams,
He was a legend in the making, reaching heights never seen.
His courage was unspoken, but his success surely roared,
As he became an icon hero, that everyone adored.
Zlatan’s name will forever echo within the corners of the globe,
And his story will live through eternity, never going untold.
As he continues his climb with family pride reflection, back home in Sweden,
We’ll cheer his name with passion every future season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, inspiring and true,
Its amazing what we can achieve, if you just see it through.
Plus, he’s just warming up.
