But I am on the ball
I just look first
For level ground

If Cinderella coached the team each fall
She’d tell her players, “Just keep your eye on the ‘ball’.”

Patriots grinding
And throwing the ball
What was said
At beginning is this
Is how champions fall
Not for this year
Brady on the ball...

On the internet I am a rookie,
But the web site said they would book me
A tele-health call
And my Doc's on the ball
But I had a mouthful of cookie!...

"Always keep both of your eyes on the ball,"
 is what I've heard all of my life,
 but I learned that approach doesn't apply at all
 when the ball is headed straight for your eyes....

I forgot to breathe
I held it all inside of me
And then came the realization
So I let it out

With a sigh

All these unfulfilled dreams
And expectations
Lying in wait

I need to get on the ball
Before it's too late...

So if after it all 
I gave up on the ball 
Would you stray from me 
Let me die so you could see 
What it's all about 
Never had once a doubt 
But I could not rewind 
Or hate myself for being blind 
I just know one thing now 
I love you so I don’t know how...

God bless America
We are not a flaw…
We are strong as one, as one
We are a nation times a ton

God bless all
We will stand tall
We will not fall
Universally, we are on the ball

Be oh so positive
Let go and let live
Don't be negative 
Let's get and give...

Baseball Stance


No gym bars for him,

this big boy on the playground,

intently waiting.

With baseball stance, glove in hand...

eyes, mind only on the ball.

Intently the boy gazed
every muscle tense and quivering
as he focused on the ball.
Would a catch come his way?

The others played on the frames
laughter was ringing out.
Still the boy remained
totally focused on that ball.

Loug And Doug

Pleasant gentlemen both, broad shouldered and tall
Good sports who respect the umpire's call
Playing the game with pride and joy
Sincerely humble, never coy
Staunch New Yorkers with their eyes on the ball

Feel free to zone out of your comfort zone
Even in a loud crowd, I feel oh so alone
I'm crawling out of my rainbow shell
Deep down, I'll show you a heaven and a hell

Blankets of benevolence smothers me at nightfall 
I'm trying to get on the ball and all...before I make a mighty fall...
Believe me, I've been trying to stay positive
I give you a lovely life to truly, sincerely live....

At the drop of the hat
Let the cat out of the bag
Beat one's head against the wall
be at someones beck and call
Keeping one's eye on the ball
have a whale of a time
Blow someone's mind
With this idioms rhyme
Be on cloud nine
as you vale your tears
then Bend your ears
fear has no colors
At an arm's length
you have a tower of strength
leave one to ones fate
head over heels
feeling all you fee...

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES
ITS A NEW DOOR OPENING
WITH A NEW BEGINNINGS
AND ALSO WITH BEAUTIFUL TRIMMINGS
THAT WILL  BRING ABOUT JOY; HAPPINESS
TO ALL WHO HAD FALL AND WHO HAD FELT SMALL.
BUT AN OPEN DOOR MEANS TO GET ON THE BALL AND NOT STALL.
FOR ALL    CLOSE DOORS  DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S THE END
 FOR THE NEW DOOR THAT OPENS IS AN OPENING HAND TO GIVE YOU AH HAND; ALSO TO HELP YOU TO FIEND FOR YOURSELF....

TAP SHOES
 
Black platform,
mary janes
with taps
on the ball
and the heel.
 
Across many stages
that have peeled.
 
Many tall orders they
have filled.
 
The cards have been dealt,
as she kneels down to pray,
with her dancing shoes only
feet away.
 
Maybe the day will come again,
when she dusts them off,
as the music begins to play.
 
Her feet come alive
as they jive to the beat
with her favorite tap shoes....

I saw you once near Jackson's.Hole
Messier's eyes were on the ball and
A post there said you'd call...

Barking trees all running around the
Pink and blue leaf scattered ground
And when I turned to see...
Colliding eYes looked back at Me.

My feet went up my head turn down
As I felt you swimming in the sound
Near shooting stars you lifted me...

Near bleeding hearts, you gifted we
A post to see.
Was in a dream Jackel. You saw Me....

Masked bandit of the planet
He strikes again in good.
Saves a kitten that’s been smitten.
He has no need of cape or hood.
On the ball standing so tall,
This took place in the hood.
Out the door, he makes the score.
Creating heroes picture where he stood.
Taking his buddy, oh so cuddly.
Never thinking it may be misunderstood.
This masked bandit deserves great plaudit.

Sleepy time girl.She never gets her rest.
Sleepy time girl.She never does her best.
At anything! 

Sleepy time girl.She's never on the ball.
Sleepy time girl.Her words! They're always
off the wall.

That little sleepy time girl.
Sleepy time girl.Sleepy time girl.
She's always late for school.
Sleepy time girl.
She never ever seems to care.

That little sleepy time girl..
