Last At Bat Poem by Anthony Rosales

7th inning game is on the line
Coming to bat my nerves are all fine
Been here before a thousand times
Sometimes I fail and others I shine
Two outs and the bases are full
Three two pitch don’t know what to do
Try to hit the ball in a gap or ground it through a hole
I take a swing with all my heart and soul
The ball goes flying to the fence I watch it sore
One run is in and the game winner is coming to score
The relay throw looks good to me
Runner slides in head first and looks safe as I can see
The umpire looks in and makes the call
Out! We are one run short and we fall
The game works in funny ways you win or lose
But if it’s something you love then it’s good for you
