• I sit on the hard wooden bench,
    as i watch the other kids play.
    Their smiles bring out the joy in them,
    that joy i do not have.
    I tell the coach im ready to play,
    he tells me we dont need you right now as i walk back to the cold bench.
    There i look to center feild through the very rusted fence,
    i see number 44 make an outstanding catch.
    I tip my hat to him,
    as if i made the catch myself.
    I will keep my spirit high,
    hoping for coach to give me a chance.
