And one I'm always dreaming of.
To enjoy the fun that these days bring.
Practice makes perfect is what they say,
Basics and fundamentals, the coaches repeat,
Day in, day out, coaches encourage the team
In order to fufill the players' dream.
And, along the way, everlasting friendships.
Once they receive state championship rings.
But the humble, gracious ones thank the Lord,
For giving them the talents for this award.
Losing shouldn't be a shame,
For a team can't win every game.
But we know life isn't always fair.
When the game is over and all is done,
The team will reflect and say, "Oh, what fun!"
Despite much pain and heart-felt sorrow,
We will work together to face tomorrow.
And time for playing is diminished,
The players return home to think of
What they will do without this game they love.
