A Dream's Goodnight
By Cope
For years now, It has been about the game. Now things are different, They'll never be the same. I played all the time, Shining at a young age. Days and months spent, At the batting cage. I worked so hard, For nothing in the end. Just another ball player, Blown away by the wind. I shouldn't be sad now, It was over long ago. I knew then, but now, The doctors told me so. Dreams last for a lifetime, Sure this is true, Until, your dream is over, Then what do you do. It seems amazing, My dream within reach. I was ready for it, I even had a speech. Two days before signing, Just another game. Once my shoulder popped, I knew things would't be the same. I fell to the ground, Only pain no sound. The helped me off the field, I surrender my mound. From that day on, Things have never been the same, I now live a life of love, Not for love of the game. Written February 19th, 2002 © on Feb 19 2002 10:06 AM PST 0 • 10
