" Memorial Day "

 

 

 To honor our fallen heroes, we celebrate "Memorial Day"…

Ever since 1971, it's been on the last Monday in May!

 

We're grateful to our veterans, and to those we've lost…

Protecting our freedom, they paid the ultimate cost!

 

As symbols of respect, we place flowers and flags on their grave…

They laid their lives on the line, protecting the home of the brave!

 

They went out to conquer evil, is my recollection…

They served and sacrificed, as we pause in reflection!

 

Thank you to every service-person, for protecting us from harm…

There is no higher honor, than serving America under arms!

 

Thank you,

 

Coach A

" Teaching "

May 11 was the Day of the Teacher... read on...
 

 

They say that "Teaching", is a noble profession...
So listen carefully, to a teacher's impression!
 
The teachers I know, are generous and caring...
They're all very bright, and they don't mind sharing!
 
They have high moral qualities, they're honorable and funny.....
They try to make a difference, cuz it's not about  the money!
 
They educate and mentor, and they model and guide...
They deserve your respect, cuz they're raising your child!
 
Good "Teaching" is a gift, it's somewhat of an art...
It takes love and patience, and someone with a big heart!
 
All of these qualities, fulfill a valuable need...
I think we can agree, that "Teaching" is noble indeed!

"National Day of Prayer"

 The National day of Prayer, Is the first Thursday in May...
It's a good time to reflect, and be Thankful for the day!
 
Some folks pray to a "higher power", and some to the stars above...
When I put my hands together, I pray to the God of Love!
 
He offers us Hope and Inspiration, my Faith will never waver...
He sent His only Son, who asked only to "Love your neighbor"!
 
So I pray for His guidance ,in my walk with Jesus Christ...
Loving His Grace and Mercy, knowing my Lord is wise!
 
I pray "His will be done", believe me it's no bother...
He paid the ultimate price, the God of Love Our Father!

" As We Go Thru Life "

A friend has recently  passed away ... he will be greatly missed... read on....  

 
 
As We Go Thru Life, We look for folks who care...
And if we'd just slow down, We'd see that they're right there!
 
They're the ones with the big heart, Always willing to give...
They're gracious and loving, It's how they chose to live!
 
These folks are easy to like, They're the ones we call friend...
Always ready to help you out, Always there with a grin!
 
We all know such a man, We formed a special bond...
His name is Johnny Huerta, But I knew him as John!
 
So As We Go Thru Life today,  Slow down for goodness sake...
And be the one who lends a hand, John would say: "piece of cake"!

"Learning How To Catch"

 A good rule of thumb,
Whether you're short or tall...
Is to stay "heads-up",
And keep your eye on the ball!
 
Give your partner a target,
your hands in front of your chest...
Keep the glove wide-open,
Cuz that's how it works best!
 
Receive the ball with "soft" hands,
It's sorta like catching an egg...
If you're in good position,
It won't hit you in the leg!
 
You should expect a bad throw,
So stay on the balls of your feet...
Your hands should be together,
as you watch the ball and glove meet!
 
Once you get the hang of it,
The fun is hard to match...
So always use two hands,
When Learning How To Catch!

Learning How To Throw

One skill needed for softball,
is Learning How To Throw...
So read these words from Coach,
He'll explain what you should know!
 
To throw the ball correctly,
hold your fingers across the seams...
It's not a minor detail,
It's more important than it seems!
 
Now point your glove towards your target,
As you make a quarter turn...
You're now in position to throw,
But there's a little more to learn!
 
As you take your arm back,
It should form an "L"...
fingers pointing away,
You're ready to let one sail!
 
Now aim towards your target,
As you step with your opposite shoe...
Go ahead, give it a try,
And remember to follow-thru!
 
Now you just need practice,
And your confidence will grow...
Soon you'll be teaching others,
About Learning How To Throw!
