What I remember is large
some of it confused
the sadness the heroes
some still unnamed
but I zero in on baseball
not to forget but because
like a constant outside history
baseball resonates for me
the heroics of play on a field
the belief that a game is sometimes
better than grief
a comfort & something to point to
Frustration as well as relief
Has, through life, stemmed from my belief
That no matter what,
No if, and, or but,
Games always are better than grief.
This is good, Steve. And so is the follow-up!!
Well Done!!!
