Some are short
Some are tall
Some you hardly see at all.
Wide-legged shorts on knobby limbs,
Long-tailed shirts for "Her and Him",
Wet cowlicks and ponytails
Decorate these boys and girls.
Anxious parents-one and all-
Come to watch their kids play ball.
Up he stepped with manlike stride-
Shoulders back,
Eyes filled with pride.
He hardly noticed me at all..
My grandson came to play T-ball.
He gripped the bat,
His knuckles white,
Then waited for his cue to strike.
That ball flew clear to outer space
And MY grandson got on first base.
