Basketball
A man’s favorite sport
Filled with much excitement and joy
Each minute you play, you play like it’s your last
Dribbling the ball, from one end of the court to another
Running back and forth like your life depends on it
Hoping not to fall on your face
Getting filled with a big rush and being pumped from all the adrenaline running through your body
Then finally throwing the ball up into the air
Hoping that you put it through the small orange circle
With all eyes on the player and all smiles on their faces
Then having the feelings of your dreams coming true
And feeling like a boulder being lifted off of your shoulder
The best feeling in the world
Basketball is a gift and a privilege
With parents in the crowd cheering you on
Without basketball I don’t know what I would be like today
Basketball is love
Basketball is life
Amen!
