Chapter 12 - Last Play

Someday, I won't be there to play anymore

I won't be there to make the ball roll

I won't be there to play with my teammates

I won't be there to see the grimace in my coach's face

Someday, I will be just an ordinary spectator

From afar enjoying the game called softball

No more sweat, tears and blood to share

No more agony and worry to conquer

Someday, I will no longer hold a ball

Neither a bat, a gloves, a rubber ball

I will no longer experience a bad fall

Or feel angry about an umpire's bad call

So, dear present self

Please dust your gloves from the shelf

Train hard for the coming games

For all we know, you'll be leaving this place...
