Lord, I thank you for another at-bat, Before I lay down my head. Perhaps tomorrow won't be a strike-out. Maybe a single or double instead. I'm down in the very bottom of the seventh, And batting way below .318 I still keep swinging best as I can, Though a home-run I doubt will be seen. But I still have a bit of life to go Before this whole game is through. I still hope to go on the road to Chi-town And see Wrigley a time or two. So Lord, please hear my baseball prayer, Before I go to sleep 'neath the loam. Let me hear the crack of ball and bat And arrive, at the end, safe at home. What you get when a homesick Chicagoan is watching Ken Burns' baseball documentary.😉
A Windy City boy, lost in rural Ohio, just shooting the breeze.
