my first love

 

to my first love

basketball you ignited my passion

molded my character teaching me resilience

from the first dribble to the last buzzer beater

you are my sanctuary

a court where dreams soar and shots made

you taught me value of the simple and basic

teamwork perseverance earns respect and favor

each game is a symphony sweat strategy dancing agility

anticipation the sound of the ball swishing through

making music for my ears echoing my heart beat rhythm you

forever etching impressing the fabric my being

thank you basketball for everything true

oh how I love playing ball and you
