Ode to a Softball Glove


One day on the softball field

Was all it took.

One look at the glove

Decided me.

I want to be a glove.

I want to be leather

Dressed up in black

Never looked so awesome.

Let me be black with pink stripes

And I guarantee, I’ll be your best friend on the field.

Yes, I’ll risk getting hit by the ball but at least I’ll catch it.

Just let me be a softball glove, hidden in your bat bag until practice time.

I’ll fall apart but, you can get another, it’s ok.

Let me be turned into something new.

Go on…..

I’m half glove

Already
