The Coach

He has a love for baseball,
and he knows well the game.
He loves the boys on his team
and they love him the same.

He teaches them the rules,
and about good sportsmanship.
How to hold a baseball bat
and where they need to grip.

How to stop a grounder
and make a double play.
When to run to second
and when you need to stay.

They learn that life itself
is much like playing ball.
And in order to succeed,
we must rise each time we fall.

He teaches that real winners
find strength from deep within.
The Coach is teaching boys
what it takes to become men
