life lessons

get a good grip,
your father says, as you hold the bat
in your hand,
about to take
a swing
at the ball
for the first time.
wrap your hands around
the barrel.
feel the weight of it,
swing it back
and forth,
get the feel for it,
turn your hips,
relax
and breathe.
dig in,
focus on what's to come.
then swing.
