Poetry Dig

She puts on a helmet, picks up a bat

And walks to the plate, "Gotta hit, and that's that!"

The crowd starts to cheer, the game's on the line

Last inning, two outs, and the score's 9 to 9.

Dad yells "Go get it!" and Mom's clenching her hands,

Coach says "Hit the ball" but alone there she stands.

Heroes are made on seconds such as this,

But she's just a little girl, what if she should miss?

Years after the the game's ended and she's little no more,

Will she remember this day, the outcome, the score?

One day she'll have forgotten if she was out, hit or run,

She will only look back on all her friends and the fun.
