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
