Life's Ball Games

Whether thrown or caught,
    Sometimes kicked or struck,
        The fascination endures.
Great skill often adds to the
    Speed or pace, as the games
        Provide victorious cures.

While talent or good-fortune
    Designates champions, no losers
        Are seen forever in the quest.
Since the challenge lies in the 
    Competition, providing one's
        Utmost effort, if not the best.

Regardless of one-on-one matches,
    Or one team against another
        In the game.
The battles seek to crown a victor,
    Granting new heights towards
        Fortune and fame.
