The game of basketball heals
it can mentally take you away
when it feels like stress is overtaking you
one can simply go to a gym or court and play
Any trouble, worry, or disappointment
bouncing that basketball is simply healing
The lives in which we live can be difficult at times
but “hooping” is one incredible feeling
The fresh sounds of the players in heavy competition
can bring about even the most subtle sigh
the hardships in life can sometimes feel like it will never end
but winning a hard earned championship could make one cry
Basketball can truly heal you
one excellent remedy for any type of pain
it is a game where one learns something new each day
each day, a persistent pursuit of a new skill one can attain
“I LOVE THIS GAME”
