Day 366 prompt: Sports
I can spend a day
at Wrigley or Comiskey
or whatever they want
me to call a ballpark now.
I can eat snacks
and keep one eye on the TV
for an afternoon with the NFL
and my husband and sons.
I can cheer for six-year-olds
at a cold, rainy, April soccer game
and bring a cooler of snacks
for the team and their sibs.
But I wonder …
Would one of those Cubs or Sox
spend forty minutes with me
burning calories by walking
a suburban neighborhood’s streets?
Would any of those NFL stars
invest an afternoon at the Y using
an elliptical, jogging the track
and taking turns on weights with me?
Would some of those six-year-olds
wake early with me
for a peaceful hour of yoga
before the rest of the house is awake?
I wonder …
But I’m not going to call a foul.
We’re all good sports.
I’m so proud of you. What a wonderful accomplishment.
