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
