“Life is Like a Bat and Ball”
Grab a bat and ball to face the day
Can’t hit the ball? What the, hey.
Try once again to do your best;
Now the ball is the test.
~
Swing once more; try to hit;
Try harder — just a bit.
Two strikes down, you’re almost out;
Night is coming, no time to pout.
~
Third try now, calm them nerves;
Life is full of many curves.
Here comes the last ball —
Will it be today’s last call?
~
It’s a great hit! Take off fast!
A catch and throw may be your last.
Run faster, from base to base,
Slide home with a smile on your face.
~
This game of life has ended once more;
Go home to rest; close the door.
You don’t need the equipment anymore;
You have made a home run; your daily score.
