Game Time (Softball)

We warm up by throwin the ball around,
Never does one hit the ground.

We are the team and this is our game,
We bat and throw, practice our aim.

As the game begins the fans cheer,
And the crowd goes wild,
I don’t even feel like a child.

As I step up to bat I can’t breath,
The first pitch is thrown and I swing with ease.

Strike one! The ump calls,
As the catcher throws back the ball.

I step up again and swing once more,
There the ball out in the grass.

I run as fast as I can,
Go home shouts all the fans.

I run and run and finally slide,
Safe calls the ump.

That makes me happy and I remeber,
This is my life and what I live for!
