The game is not really about the game at all

 

The game is about the red bow

The game is about the sunflower seeds spit back into the earth

The game is about the ease you feel

While gliding your fingers over the stitches

The game is about diving into the dirt

And letting it engulf you

The game is about random bruises

The game is about the grass stained pants

The game is about stomping feet and cheers

 

The game is about slowing down

Making every pitch

Every swing

Every catch

Count

Softball is so much more than the actual game. Everything I love about softball is more than just the game.
