Homerun

HOMERUN
by Juventina Ochoa ( Todd's cousin )

It's a sunny day,no chance of rain.
It's time for you to play your last game.
The scores four to one,
the bases loaded all you need is one homerun.
You're up to bat,the first pitch strike one,and then strike two.
Your doubts are low,your scared,your nervous but it never shows.
You pray to God you hit this one.
The pitcher winds up and he throws.SMACK! There it goes.
So high, so far,it disappears into the light of the sun. The crowd
cheers.
You're so excited you forget to run.
You start out slow,when you hit base one,you let the energy flow.
Base two and then base three,your almost home.
Inches from home plate you slam on brakes, you stand there and stare
into the sun.
It gets brighter, a stairway appears.
There God stands about midway and he cheers,
" COME ON TODD. Come run to home. This will be the start of you new
game. Come play with the angels.You'll get to fly."
You got your homerun,you won the game.
You get to play as much as you like now.
So, why is it that we shed our tears,
is it because we have fear with you not here.
Just remember we love you and will never forget you.
We didn't want you to go,you may have not wanted to go either,
but its time for your HOMERUN.
