SOFTBALL PLAYERS PRAYER
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 first base
Then onto second, stay with me. Lord,
Cause this one out, we can't afford.
Then let me zoom like a flying bird
Right down the and on to third
Then let me slide with feet out-thrust
Across home plate in swishing dust
BUT FIRST OF ALL, DEAR LORD, I PRAY
JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY!
