The sun rose in the sky
Stretched across the field of green
The smell was intoxicating
Upon the field of dreams.
He walked onto the field
Felt the ground beneath his feet
Knowing the feeling that he felt`
Would be hard to beat.
No matter what it was
He felt it in his heart
Would he feel the same
Once the season start.
In the batters box
As the pitches flew by
Once in awhile hitting one
Watching it leave his bat toward the sky.
Circling the base paths
Giving each base a light touch
Realizing in his heart
Why he loved the game so much.
