The Game Of Life Poem by Dwayne Banks

When life throws a curve ball, you'll need a strong bat
you'll also need to know, exactly where your at
Look at your position, on the field called life
know certain actions, do cause strife
At times you step away, from the base your on
be sure to keep a distance, not far gone
Communicate with team members, throughout lifes' game
never turn your head, then you never gain
To gain trust and awareness, a major hurdle
just move a little faster, than the fabled turtle
Keep your eyes and ears, attuned to your station
perseverance and hard trust, will earn all elation
Never trade key players, for the chance at fame
hard work and dog days, will actually win the game
Learn all positions, though work and play to win
never let the opposition, see your fretful grin
Do the best you can, know you will fall down
also know you teammates, won't throw you out of town
Mistakes will be made, you will miss some balls
always make sure, to make the best calls
Life is a game, it lasts more than nine innings
keep teammates in mind, when you bless your winnings
