The Only Game

I met you at the park
Thought you were the best
Played your greatest players
Better than the rest

Remembering all the work,
The sweat and tears,
The pain and determination
Get ready to play –no more fears

The game starts at once,
We take the field
All ready to play
Our team is revealed

In the middle of it all
We are up by seven
“Still have a chance to win?”
My grand slam makes it eleven.

Eleven to zero
The final score.
“Good games” go around
No take-backs anymore

We get our trophies
All smiling and glad
Another tournament won
The greatest one we’ve had.

This piece is mainly about a softball game with my rival team and we ended up beating them which was a big accomplishment for me.
