Life is like a huge baseball game.
One never knows the price they will pay for loving someone.
Sometimes you hit a curve and sometimes it’s a grounded ball.
Bunting might help you get over a hump in a pinch but what you really want is a squeeze play.
Most people say they don’t want to play this game but in reality Life is truly the ultimate game.
Then you hit a home run and have it made as you cover all the bases while the cheering goes on and on.
One minute you are flying high and the next you are screaming foul!
Give and take is always the price we encounter just to play game.
There is always a price and everyone knows they have to give up something.
Most forget there is no “I” in “Team” and still try to play the game one on one.
Most people say they don’t want to play this game but in reality Life is truly the ultimate game.
In life there are more than nine innings and many chances to hitting home runs as well as striking out.
Life is not over when we strike out, there is backup in your family and friends to help pick up the pieces.
Just keep your eye on the ball and follow it through to the end and hit it hard.
There are always plenty of backup pitchers and a pinch hitter.
Do your best and remember you will be back up to bat in just a little bit.
Most people say they don’t want to play this game but in reality Life is truly the ultimate game.
