When Your Fire Is Almost Out Light Another Fire

Updated on October 11, 2011

Don't Give Up Give More

Life is one thing for certain ... a challange

I sometimes think somethng is going to be easy and it isn't

I wonder why?

Then I say why should it be

Then everyone and their brother could do whatever they wanted and it wouldn't matter

For those who put the time and effort in

The rewards shall be there

Just not the way you think it is going to be

Life throws you a low and inside curve

You swing and a miss

S T R I K E !

You have to keep your eye on the ball

You have been reminded of that time and time again

Don't take your eye off the ball

Easier said than done

The second pitch a high one and you swung at it

STRIKE!

That is strike two

What were you thinking

You have to make the next pitch count

The third and final pitch...

A fast ball right down the middle

A swing and a miss

Strike three the game is over

Or is it really over

Can you come back another day and remember what you learned here today

You at least went down swinging

Maybe next time you will connect and out of the parrrrrrk!!!!!!

It is up to you to decide ?

Have you had enough ?

Are you ready to put your game face on and try again ?

Are you ready to do what it takes to win ?

It is easy to go home and sulk and say why couldn't I of hit that ball

You can curse yourself and believe any number of reasons

Why you didn't hit the ball

The pitcher was a good pitcher

You were outmatched

You were not concentrating

The sun was in your eyes

You don't feel good

You need more batting practice

You were asleep at the wheel

All of the above might be a little true

But who cares as long as it is you up at bat again

Trying your darndest to make it work

Well for all those sports fans who love a good game

This one is for you

I might have struck out now

But real soon I am going to have my day

Where no matter who is pitching and what pitch you throw

I am going to connect and the rest will make history

Pull up a seat it could take awhile

But you will be more than surprised when you here that crack

From that moment on you know that ball was

Long long gone

OUT OF HERE !!!!!!!
