Baseball Dreams
Somewhere Out There
Beyond All Worry And Strife
Exists A parallel Universe
Where Dreams Are Reality
Where Baseball Is Life
*****
Somewhere Out There
Exists An Alternate World
Where Imagination Sprints Onto The Field
Where I’m Pitching Baseballs
To The Roar Of The Crowd
*****
Somewhere Beyond Anywhere
Hometown Team Up By One Run
Fielders Chatter Encouragement
In The Top Of The 9th
As I Take The Mound
*****
Somewhere Past Eternity
The Visiting Team Down To Their Final Out
The Bases Are Juiced
I Go Into My Stretch
The Ump Has Called A Full Count
*****
Somewhere Out There
Exists A Parallel Universe
Where Dreams Are Reality
The Ump Calls “STRIKE THREE!”
I Pump My Fist, Doff My Cap
And Slowly Stride to the Dugout
**********
Until Our Trails Cross Again:
PLAY BALL!
May All Your Pitches Be Strikes
And All Your Dreams Be Reality
