Play Ball
Somewhere somebody
is birthing a baby
Somewhere somebody
saw time slip away
Somewhere somebody
thinks “No” is a “Maybe”
Somewhere somebody
throws a bridal bouquet
Somewhere somebody
makes ramen for dinner
Somewhere somebody
enjoys crème brûlée
Somewhere somebody
becomes a big winner
Somewhere somebody
attends Opening Day
In an earlier life, I was a young bride
Eighteen, he was twenty
High school sweethearts and
Plenty in love
We got hitched and ditched traditional roads.
As life unfolded, it seemed normal to us.
He sometimes rode the team bus.
Newlywed bliss kept love ablaze…
There were never enough days.
