7TH INNING STRETCH

SEVENTH INNING STRETCH

Sometimes life throws a curveball
Sometimes it throws a strike
Sometimes one gets injured
Or ends up in a fight.

Sometimes we hit a home-run
Sometimes we get to walk
And then there's those times
We even get to balk.

Life is like a ballgame
Sometimes we just strike out
And Casey isn't always there
To straighten things about.

Never argue with the Ump
And just accept the call
Respect the other pitcher
Who controls the ball.

And in the 7th inning stretch
While you still have some hope
Go to bat for what 'you' want
Or you'll just have to cope.

Our lives are like nine innings
There's 'extra' ones sometimes
Learn to read the signals
And run between the lines.

Most of us are well into
That 7th inning stretch
When the ball is falling
Run like HELL and catch.

If you lose the game of ball
And the bases you can't run
Remember it's the stats that count
Just try to have some fun.

And when the 'Ump' calls you "OUT!"
And your life on earth is through
Will there be any doubt
Just who He's talking to?

So in the 7th inning stretch
Look around & evaluate
Error, strike, ball or walk?
You're up to bat....don't wait!
