These 8am games

                                                                         Zoe Christian
           Have me showing up at 7


                                                                        The Softball Game
           This water by my side



           For the dehydration that claims my body



           This catching gear protecting my body



           From wild pitches for three innings



           The third base area all by myself



           During this last inning



           As the time limit runs low



           It’s my teammates turn



           These cheers roar as she runs and scores



           These pitches I’m timing are perfect



           Then the sound of the contact



           Ball to Bat



           That ball soaring over the fence



           This game that we win



           Is one of my best



           On to the next



           Hoping we win once again
                                                                                                                        7
