August 4

Gordon pumps his hands
as his son hits a grand slam
into the stands
to crown them regional champs
and in an instant no sound
is drowned by crowds freaking out
in the stands feet pound
and he's on a cloud
his little league dream
comes to a screech
for all but the other team
it's all over
grow another year older
the shoulders sink lower
on pinstriped soldier
just think of the amount
you've inspired this town
turn that frown upside down
and be proud!
whether you're a star
who hits the ball out of the park
you'll always be a part
of our hearts
