For Players in the Game of Baseball or Life

Matt enjoyed a never-forget-it-as-long-as-I-live night at the Sky-dome to watch the Blue-jays try to sweep the series against the Texas Rangers.
He said there was a consistent eager hum of excitement in the crowd,
but when Donaldson slid across the home-plate clinching the extra-innings win the place erupted into a beyond-words noise-level of celebration! 



Sometimes in life's
Swing and miss, 
slip, trip and sprawl
Fumble a pop-fly, 
or 
get hit by a ball

...sometimes in life's 
extra innings 
before loss
Or new-season beginnings
after 
a bat-toss 

...sometimes in life's 
hurt and dirt
Had a bad day
Bases-loaded 
grounder
then a double play

Sometimes in life's game of
Hope, hit, 
work hard, 
fall
We meet with moments 
that make it
Worth it all

September fears have turned to October cheers!
