FOR THE YOUNG

Scooping up a ground ball is
for the young
Who take their skill
for granted
Diving for a ball is
for the young
Who take their flexibility
for granted
Firing a ball to first is
for the young
Who take their strength
for granted
Bat speed is for the young
Who take their reflexes
for granted
Understanding is for the old
Who have learned
To take nothing
For granted
