Premium MemberYesterday's Hero

He laced up his sneakers
   for perhaps the last time
in a meaningless game
   He was long past his prime

Hs eyes scoured the stands
   half-empty tonight
Could his team forfeit the game
   No, that wouldn't be right

Fans there'd paid for their tickets
   They deserved a real show
Though how he'd respond
   He never did know

Some nights he just couldn't move
   Couldn't get into a groove
Couldn't jump; couldn't shoot
   Barely fit into his basketball suit

But tonight he felt better
   And his shot was on fire
When he jumped, he fairly soared
   Upward, higher and higher

In a last burst of glory
   His team won the game
Yesterday's hero'd attained
   His final fifteen seconds of fame


Basketball

As you can see,
This game is between you and 
me.
I try to shoot,
But I realize that I'm wearing 
boots!
Where are my sneakers?
Wait, they're in my lockers.
I tie my shoe laces tight,
With a smile that's shining 
bright.
I'm running to the hoop,
Trying to shoot.
SCORE!!!
I'm winning this game,
The crowd are screaming my 
name.
I finally success,
This game is the BEST!!!

Basketball Shoes

My basketball sneakers could make me fly
In fourth grade I could jump so high
I wasn't the best on the team
But I was in my dream
With those shoes, I swear I could touch the sky.
