Baseball Player

John Platt

by John Platt

I am a baseball player

I wonder what will happen in the game

I hear the coaches yelling

I see the pitcher on the mound

I want to steal a base

I am a baseball player

I pretend to be Jackie Robinson and steal home plate

I feel that pressure is on me

I touch homebase

I am worried what the call will be, I hope I will be safe

I am a baseball player

I understand I might be out

I say I must be safe for the umpire stretches out his arms "SAFE!"

I dream what will happen for we will celebrate

I am a baseball player
