The Hit

Poised so ready to smack the ball, The little fellow gave it his all With grin on face and bent knees He swung the bat with such great ease You’d think this kid was surely a pro Coming up to bat and standing so But, maybe one day he’ll make his mark As this 6 year old batter hits it out of the park. The joy that he has on his face As he takes all the bases as if in a race And just as he was rounding third You could hear him shout the following words, “My first home run, did you see that?!!!!” (True story - my son who's now 8)
