He
Is Just a Little Boy
He stands at the plate
with his heart pounding fast.
The bases are loaded,
the die has been cast.
Mom
and Dad cannot help him,
he stands all alone.
A hit at this moment,
would send the team home.
The
ball meets the plate,
he swings and he misses.
There's a groan from the crowd,
with some boos and some hisses.
A
thoughtless voice cries,
"Strike out the bum."
Tears fill his eyes,
the game's no longer fun.
So
open your heart and give him a break,
For it's moments like this,
a man you can make.
Please
keep this in mind,
when you hear someone forget,
He is just a little boy....and not a man yet.
Little League Pledge
I trust in God
I love my country and will respect its laws
I will play fair and srtive to win
But win or lose I will always do my best
Parent / Volunteer Pledge
I will teach all children to play fair and do their best
I will positively support all managers, coaches and players
I will respect the decisions of the umpires
I will praise a good effort despite the outcome of the game
