The Batters Box
I stand by home plate
Waiting for the pitch
A few practice swings I take
My eye on the pitcher
My bat in the air
My knees are bent
My feet are spread
Bases loaded with two outs
We are down by three
First pitch comes
I swing away
Strike one! I hear someone say
The next pitch comes
I swing hard
It’s a hit
Farther and farther it goes
It is an honor to be
To be in the batters box
