On the occasion of my son winning the USSSA Nebraska state championship, U11 division
Winning it all bestows some
Pride
For all of the games well-played;
Satisfaction
For all the big metro team thumpings;
Excited hope
For next season and all that will follow
on the way to the show (for sure?);
Redemption
For past transgressions – especially the mental;
Medals
That will hang on hall of fame walls
until future days when all of them fall;
Memories
That will live as long
as the players and their parents and their kids.
