Lifes Curve Balls Poem by Patricia Grantham
Lifes Curve Balls
As we go through this journey called life
We're thrown many curve balls along the way
We can either catch them or let them fall
You may run fast, slow or even not at all
The choice is up to you whatever it may be
Caught unawares you may not see them coming
Other times you're ready to face the challenges
The race is not always won by the fastest
But for the ones who holds out the longest
You may lose your footing but get back on track
Keep on moving ahead and try to stay focused
Soon you will find yourself making great strides
Then you look back to see how far you have come
You then took a deep breath and let out a big sigh
Yes life may have thrown you some fast curve balls
It is how you run with life and keep up with its pace
If you don't life will soon pass you along the way
So whatever your curve balls are in life stay at
the bat and keep on swinging
You can either:
Miss it or hit it
Tap it or dodge it
Just keep on playing!

It is upto us to decide how we should face life and move forward. Obstacles are there on our way... but opportunities too. If we are brave and determined enough, we can overcome hurdles and snatch at opportunities! We shouldn't treat life like a slot machine, putting little and expecting a jackpot! Let us put maximum effort... and hope for the best! As ever this is another inspirational write! Thanks Pat!
Keep on going I learnt to laugh in grief never give up lovely 10 again Patricia
Your analogy of life to baseball batting is beautiful. There are curve balls and fast balls. One must face them. Nice poem. Thank you.
Hopefully we can duck the curve balls, if not then we have to step up to the plate and give it our best shot. Liked this poem very much thanks for sharing BB : O))
