Dear Basketball Skills,
From the moment I started with you
I fell in love.
It was the sound of the shoes rubbing
on the court, the squeak echoing.
The crowd chanting my name
A little girl learning skills
To a sport she loved.
A sport that makes me happy
Helps me grow
Not only on the court but
with physical skills and intense
I play through all the sweat and injuries
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
A love so deep I gave you my all-
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.
As a 5 year old girl
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself and the path in front of me
Great winning shots
In the freshmen team
I knew one thing was real.
