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!
