The Size of Your Dreams
By Anthony E
Walked over to the park today
Saw a game being run up n down
Who's got next I say
Three bigs turn around
.
"Kid you're too small"
"Kid u can't play"
"Gotta be tall"
I heard them say
.
Rejected not selected
Felt terrible all day
Didn't buy it, but sat quiet
For my chance to play
.
Game point, a player down
They point in my direction
Who me, could it be?
Humbled by my selection
.
Two feet short, but on the court
My defense, biting, intense
Proving my worth, ambitious since birth
Stole his pocket, pure excellence
.
After that crime, pulled up on a dime
Slipped the dish, heard the sweet swish
Players stop, drop to give me props
No feeling was better than this.
.
Size is just a pencil mark on the wall
The basketball doesn't recognize small
Work that iron will, handle that pill
Dreams don't stand still and never will
.
Size don't matter much though it seems
All that matters is: The Size of Your Dreams...
.
Author Notes: Short kid's book that reflects on dreaming big, not taking no for an answer, and working for a goal (pun intended).
