 April 7, 2025

Thinking of my son and husband as they are at a Mariners game tonight.

 

The Seventh Inning Faithful

Baseball is a sport for the hopeful

Inning after inning, one dreams of winning

Even when down in score

Some complain it is a bore

Not to those who believe

Anything is possible

In the next-to-last inning

With the bases loaded

And the washed-up player comes to bat

A famous poem or two

Hums through one’s head

With the faith of the fanatic

The crowd leans forward

Visualizing the ball sailing

Out of sight, taking flight

As our team must win tonight!
