Pelé, a legend of the game
Three World Cups, a global name
Soccer's first icon, he shone bright
A player of skill, a pure delight
From Brazil he rose, with talent rare
A sportsman supreme, beyond compare
His footwork swift, his shots on goal
A master of the beautiful game, his role
But now Pelé has left us, at the age of eighty-two
His legacy lives on, in all that he did do
A true champion, on and off the field
His memory, forever sealed
In the hearts of fans, his spirit will stay
Inspiring future players, to play the same way
Pelé, a legend, forever more
Soccer's shining star, forever adore
