baseballisms

life sneaks up on you,

it’s a curveball coming through,

a baseballism for life,

you take it day to day,

it comes with ups and downs, 

grab every opportunity.

it is all in your head.

you know there’s an end,

but you don’t know when.

many attend,

but few understand.

it gets late early.

the way you play a metaphor,

a tell on your life.

keep your eye on the ball.

are you gripping the ball, 

or is it gripping you?

waiting for something wonderful to happen,

playing the game of life.

playing the game of baseball.

the only thing you control is your actions,

take one pitch at a time.

maintain poise, never surrender,

winning with humility,

losing with dignity,

life sneaks up on you,

it’s a curveball coming through.

get home safe...
