Baseball In Heaven

A young boy that loved the game Would always practice and never rest Because he always wished someday To play with the very best Dad and son played together Bonding with games of catch Both together for love of the game Which no one else could match Then one morning the man awoke To go practice with his team And when he arrived at the field Its grass was an amazing green It didn’t look in anyway close To the way it was before And his teammates were now all different And there were so so many more As he ran to take his position His teammates caught his eye They were all the baseball legends That he was passing by He thought how was it possible That these greats were there to play Because he knew that they were all His heroes that passed away He walked up to a player Whom he knew to be Babe Ruth To get an answer to what was happening And he only wanted the truth The great man thought the easiest way For a young man who’d been playing since seven Was to tell him that they were a player short And he was needed in baseball heaven The young man grinned with a child’s delight And now knew he wanted to stay Because God granted him more than his wish He could now play with the best everyday
