Softball Player's Prayer
Softball Player's Prayer
by Rachel of the Amhurst Lightning

Lord, give me the strength to hit the ball
And if I do don't let me fall
Help me to pick the pitch that's right
Then let me knock it out of sight.

Then let me run with deer like grace
Don't let me miss but tag first base
Then on to second, stay with me Lord
Cause this one out, we can't afford.

Then let me zoom like a flying bird
Right down the line and on to third
Then let me slide with feet out thrust
Across home plate in the swishing dust.

BUT FIRST OF ALL, DEAR LORD I PRAY
JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY!
