JUST A LITTLE BOY!

Author unknown
 
 
 
 

He stands at the plate with his heart pounding fast,

The bases are loaded, the die is cast.
Mom and Dad cannot help him, he stands all alone,
A hit at this moment would send his team home.
The ball nears the plate, he swings and he misses,
There's a groan from the crowd, with boos and with hisses.
A thoughtless voice cries,"strike out the bum!"
Tears fills his eyes, the game's no longer fun.
Remember, he's just a little boy who stands all alone.
So open your hearts and give him a break,
For it's moments like this, a man you can make.
Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget,
He's just a little boy, and not a man yet.
