The Homerun for Heaven
|
|||
|
|
When I was a boy the first thing I learned was that summer wasn't just summer,
|
|||
|
|
it was baseball and that baseball is the Chicago Cubs!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My Grandmother was a great Cubs fan! She would sit and watch all the games on
|
|||
|
|
TV even though she couldn't hear them.She would cheer them on or cuss them out.
|
|||
|
|
She had her heroes and her villains,and sometimes the were one and the same!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Later on,when she moved into the nursing home my parents gave her a orange
|
|||
|
|
television set so she could watch her beloved Cubs.
|
|||
|
|
Oh the Cubs,the losers. Not a title in over 30 years!
|
|||
|
|
Yet how devoted she was to her beloved Cubs!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So for the last few years of her life she cheered on her Cubs and never saw
|
|||
|
|
them win a title.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My grandmother is gone now..
|
|||
|
|
The Cubs are winning now..
|
|||
|
|
So last night as her beloved Cubs were on the way to winning their division
|
|||
|
|
a old patched together orange television set sat switched on in the other
|
|||
|
|
room ,although nobody here was watching it. On that television set were the
|
|||
|
|
Cubs,and they were winning!!
|
|||
|
|
Here I had kept a old promise to myself,and I am very sure that from heaven
|
|||
|
|
my grandmother was looking down into that room and she was smiling!

|

|
|
What is this,the voice in my head? I thought you were dead?!?
|
|||
|
|
Why are you back? Did some one possibly give you the sack?
|
|||
|
|
What is this you say? You are sorry that you have been away?
|
|||
|
|
How could this be? You say that when you left you took away the real me?
|
|||
|
|
Although you might be right. For recently my days have felt like the night!
|
|||
|
|
And what had happened to my Joy of being an overgrown boy?
|
|||
|
|
And where has gone the wonder that sometimes caused a small blunder?
|
|||
|
|
And ,most of all where has gone that sense of love,that greeted me like a dove?
|
|||
|
|
Oh yes I now see,You have returned the very real me!
|
|||
|
|
Oh voice in my head,I'm glad that you are not dead!!!

Sandman
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Please hold my hand,said Hillery to the sand.
|
|||
|
|
I can not hold your hand said the sand for I have no shape or life!
|
|||
|
|
Then I shall make you into the shape of a man,said Hillery.
|
|||
|
|
For the next twelve hours Hillery sculpted her man.
|
|||
|
|
Then at 11:59pm she was done and she said: Please hold my hand.
|
|||
|
|
To which the sand replied:I now have shape but still no life!!
|
|||
|
|
Then as the clock began to strike midnight she said:THEN I WILL YOU TO LIFE!!!!
|
|||
|
|
Moonlight glittered and shimmered on top of Hillery's Sandman.
|
|||
|
|
Then he began to move,and he opened his eyes and sat up!!!!
|
|||
|
|
He looked at his new hands AND body.
|
|||
|
|
Please hold my hand said Hillery to her sand.
|
|||
|
|
He looked at her and he saw her hand AND body.
|
|||
|
|
He held her hand and he drew her close for a kiss.
|
|||
|
|
They kissed and she melted into his strong arms.
|
|||
|
|
They kissed and kissed ...
|
|||
|
|
Bodies as one they moved and moved.
|
|||
|
|
Their moans filled the night air.
|
|||
|
|
As they lay there,all spent the clock began to chime out 3:00am.
|
|||
|
|
Please hold my hand said Hillery to her sand.
|
|||
|
|
Hold her hand he did as the chimeing stopped
|
|||
|
|
Then as the moonlight faded,the Sandman changed back to sand!
|
|||
|
|
As Hillery cried,her Sandman slipped through her fingers,again.
