When things seem impossible

it is a wondrous thing to have someone

willing to bat for you.

Stand up and be responsible

for giving you opportunity for a home run

get you what’s your due.

    As ever. Writers should be like baseball players, and only expect a home run from every 60 times at so. But the passion, the drive and focus should always be there.

A devoted spouse, a loving child, a true friend- where would one be without such a coach?
