SOFTBALL PLAYER'S PRAYER
by Rachel #1 of the Amhurst Lightning
Lord, give me the strength to hit the ball And if I do don't let me fall Help me to pick the pitch that's right Then let me knock it out of sight.
Then let me run with deer-like grace Don't let me miss but tag first base Then on to second, stay with me, Lord, Cause this one out, we can't afford.
Then let me zoom like a flying bird Right down the line and on to third Then let me slide with feet out-thrust Across home plate in the swishing dust
BUT FIRST OF ALL, DEAR LORD, I PRAY JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY!
Hey you guys (: Lari here. Isn't this poem cute - I think Jingxiao got it from our literature teacher. Softball poems are so rad. Okay goodbye and see you guys in training soon. I'm definitely enjoying sleep in mornings x)
