He pulls on his helmet and picks up his bat,
\nHe walks to the plate, \u201cGotta hit and that\u2019s that.\u201d
\nThe crowd starts to yell, the game’s on the line,
\nLast inning, two outs, the score’s nine to nine.<\/p>\n
Dad yells, “Go get it,” Mom wrings her hands,
\nCoach hollers, “hit it,” but alone there he stands.<\/p>\n
Heroes are made in seconds such as this,
\nbut he’s just a little boy, what if he should miss?<\/p>\n
Years after this game’s ended and he’s little no more,
\nWill he remember the outcome or even the score?<\/p>\n
No, he’ll have forgotten if he was out, hit, or run,
\nHe’ll only look back on his friends and the fun.<\/p>\n
So cheer this boy on, alone with his fate;
\nHelp him remember with fondness this stand at the plate.<\/p>\n
Spend your time wisely and help in his quest
\nto be a hitter with confidence and always his best
\nAnd when the game’s over, this boy can stand tall,
\nfor you’ve helped him prepare to give it his all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
