Opening Day

IS THIS A QUESTION ABOUT BASEBALL ?

With the springtime, brings new life and expectations.
A crack of the bat, unleashes the spirit.
Could one sport capture so many imaginations?

A stadium of grandeur, and the crowd of fans.
The sun reflects onto the field of your favorite team.
Can you paint the picture, with a clap of the hands?

Purchase your tickets, and bring your passes.
Take your heart through the park doors.
Is the magic any clearer through sunglasses?

We’re restless, intense, with our eyes like jewels.
There’s the spark of excitement in a season ahead.
Did we spend any time studying the game rules?

Put on the uniforms and lace up those cleats.
Rake the infield, mow the grass, and raise the flag.
Can we keep our feet on the ground while in our seats?

After six months of waiting, we all want to play.
Smell the brats, the pizza, and the kettle corn.
Are we hungry for baseball’s opening day?

The energy radiates from the blue sky above.
Sit back in your chair and put on your hat.
Isn’t this the game that you truly do love?
