When
he stepped
into
the batter’s box
When
she
stood
tall
on the mound
When he
swung
When
she pitched
When each played
Sky’s the limit
shimmering
like
a
diamond
Their
lives
showing us
their
skills
their
dignity
their
ability
their
determination
Teaching us
by
their
play
how
to live life!
He scoffs
at
compliments
and
she
looks
down
at the ground
(embarrassed)
“We just like the game folks!”
he grins
she chuckles
This is the team
right here
He pitches too
and she bats
as well
They reverse rolls
They fill the team
They
manage
well
together
They give
signals
to their
players
All beneath the sky
and
all
that
baseball allows
The home run
of
family
They’re baseball
players
they’re
us
