On june the 24th the world was blessed
With a gem born In Rosario as his nest
Lionel Andres Messi-thats what he was named
Lost the count of how many defenders he has shamed
At the age of five he started playing soccer
who knew back then he would be such a huge goal stalker
At the age of 11, he got growth hormone deficiency
although that didn't effect his footballing efficiency
13 yrs old and off he went to Spain
marking the beginning of the li'l master's European reign
A place where he became the best in a highly talented squad
Soon to be named the brand new footballing God
On april the 18th he displayed his true footballing skills
Going passed 6 different players like running down a hill
Dribbling at a speed which others couldn't match
Defenders till date find him real hard to catch
2009...he was awarded the player of the year
we fans celebrated with glasses of beer
2010... & history repeated itself
what more can a player ask of himself..
2011...and the fans went from sane to insane
as the ballon'd award was again Messi's to gain
just 7 bright years of top flight football
today he is barca's top goal scorer to match it all...
Considered the best today...will he be the best player ever??!!
guess it all depends on the man's footballing endeavour
Learn from him...dreams do come true
All we have got to do...is just follow them through
