Diamonds ***
He read a book when he was ten
about a baseball player
opened up his mind a bit
to what can happen
later.
He had gotten just one hit
in two years playing ball
it was after a long time
spent in the hospital.
In his third year trying
up there once again
facing fastest pitcher
with just his innocence.
Deep into the book he was
not at a baseball game
couldn't hit worth anything
and no one else to blame.
Still back home sprawled on in bed
no shots bed baths nurse dates
relaxing reading all was well
strike out get back it's late.
But feeling better
just this time
not himself at all
not afraid of anything
especially the ball.
Which soon arrived and went back out
high above the fence
never give up
little Babe.
