IN MEMORIAM
(A ballplayer's prayer)
Dear God: Help me be a good sport in the game of life.
I don't ask for an easy place in the line-up. Put me anywhere you need me.
I only ask that I can give you 100-percent of everything I have.
If all the hard drives seem to come my way, I thank you for the compliment.
Help me remember that you never send a player more trouble than he can handle.
And help me Lord, to accept the bad breaks as part of the game.
May I always play on the square, no matter what the others do.
Help me study the Book so I'll know the rules.
Finally, God, if the natural turn of events goes against me
and I'm, benched for sickness or old age, help me to accept that as part of the game, too.
Keep me from whimpering that I was framed or that I got a raw deal.
And when I finish the final inning, I ask for no laurel.
All I want is to believe in my heart that I played as well as I could and that I didn't let you down.
