“TEAM”

By Bill McCurdy

__________

In Dedication to the 2015 Pearland Little League Team

Sunday, August 30, 2015

__________

Fungo us some fast fly balls – that make us try our best,

To bring down every aspirant hit – that hopes to leave its nest.

__________

Pepper us hard grounders too – that carom or seek holes.

So we can block and throw each out – with no sneak single moles.

__________

Make us bat till kingdom come – till all of us agree,

That winning comes from working – that hits are rarely free.

__________

Help us see that ego – is not the recipe,

For winning as a great team – is always you and me.

__________

Teach us how to show we care – when teammates reach our dream,

Each time we celebrate them too – we put the sting in team.

__________

And help us to remember – no matter how fates fall,

That all we reach as team – is the largest win of all.
