To the MVP in the bleachers and the heartbeat of the home: Happy Mother’s Day to the queens of the diamond! ⚾️💐
The sunrise finds her packing bags,
With seeds and Gatorade,
The minivan a rolling locker,
For the choices that she’s made.
She’s the rhythm of the bleachers,
The shadow in the heat,
With a rhythmic clap and a steady heart,
And grass stains on the seat.
She knows the count, she knows the stance,
She knows when spirits sag,
She’s the first one standing at the fence,
Or waving a frantic flag.
Between the dust of a sliding play,
And the dirt on a jersey sleeve,
She’s the quiet power in the park,
The one who first believed.
So here’s to the lady of the dirt,
The queen of the dugout shout,
Who knows that love is a marathon,
Not just a single out.
Happy Mother’s Day to the one,
In the stands through sun and rain,
The MVP of the family team,
In the heart of the baseball game.
