Not
Every
At bat is
A hit and not
Every hit’s a run
Swing and miss or foul ball
Might seem to happen quite often
Bask in the glory of the golden
Moments when you’re waved around the bases
And tagging each one to the sound of cheers
Home plate is in sight as you slide in
The call is SAFE and the crowd roars
You own this perfect moment
Realizing that it’s
The power behind
Every swing missed
That makes odds
Favor
You
