Don'T Turn the Ball Over

M-ake no mistake in life, 
E-ven in a basketball game; 
R-emain in the right path, 
L-ittle error can tarnish
Y-our name.

B-all is in your hands
O-ctober twenty-ninth day; 
N-either arm will violate, 
D-ribbling not in a wrong way.
A-llow not your feet to travel toward the false direction; 
D-riving hard to the goal, charging not one in motion.

B-e careful with your action, 
A-ware of every matter; 
L-et your life be righteous, 
D-on't turn the ball 
O-ver.
