*.The SoftBall Player's Prayer.*
God grant me wisdom,
to tell a strike from a ball,
to know where to throw,
and never to fall.
Keep me always in the baseline,
running straight and true,
and I'll look for your sign
and stretch one into two.
God give me vision to,
see every pitch,
so if a player needs help,
I will see which.
Let me always hustle,
so I'll be at my best,
and take pride in myself
in sports and the rest.
God be my strength
when I throw the ball
when I'm far from home plate,
or against the wall.
So I never miss a base,
plaese guide my feet,
bring me home safely,
so my job is complete.
When I help a younger player,
help me always give praise,
so they will see you in me,
in all of my ways.
God please guide our coach,to be fair and smart,
to teach us good,
let it come from his heart.
Let me take a loss,
just as well as a win.
To do any less is surely a sin.
As long as I can play,
let me make my parents proud,
as proud as I am,
when they yell my name out loud.
However my games end,
let me have fun
and if heaven has All-Stars,
I want to be one.
When my games here are over
and my seasons are done.
Let me play on your team,
just like your son.
-Amen.-
