For the Love of the Game

A dream of watching a game of the Tigers versus Angels

It has been a dream of mine
a secret I confess-

cheering both home and visitor
red and white vs. blue and white
with a hint of orange
tigers vs. angels
home turf in Detroit stadium
Comerica park
sitting on-deck circle
standing with the crowd
loving every hit
loving every bat
loving every run
inning after inning
day not lasting long enough
nine innings

It has been a dream of mine
a secret I confess-

meeting Brandon Inge, Erick Aybar
wearing a blue and white jersey
a red and white hat
cheering on the tigers
with a halo above my head
a red and white ball
with a blue signature
singing with the crowd
shouting at the umps
shouting at the coach
shouting just to shout
inning after inning
all for the love of the game
baseball

It has been a dream of mine
a secret I confess-
