I saw you play
On the very first day
And from that day
I wanted to play too
So we could have
Something special
So we could also share
Even if its that basketball ball
You were swift
And I loved watching you
Dribble past the court players
Heading for the score
The perfect score
That you never miss
And everytime
You would make a bastket
My heart leapt with some pride
And admiration I never understood then
I remember the first time you called my name
I remember running to you
Instead of passing the ball
And you laughed soo hard
That tears started strolling down your cheeck
And I wanted to give you more tears in life
The tears of joy
Each time I would hold a ball
Laughter and genuine happiness
Radiated from your lips
And would I stare at them
For much longer each time
Wanting to have a taste of them
Like a tang of tranquil heaven
You know I am player
I will forever be one for life
But I wont play with your heart
But I will play with your troubles
And dribble past them
Then make a shot of happiness
Just for you
