Wife said to me
You are always working
Your son won't know you
My son was five
So we sat on this bank
To watch a Little League game
Everyone below was milling around
Finally this lady walked up,
Sir, do you know anything about baseball?"
Me and the boy started a coaching career
The first team was third picked
The first game was 22-3 and yes
The winning manager was not me
Sixteen kids a new arrival
I said I have too many
He started to cry--took him
I found me a pitcher
We won the championship
Fifteen years coached little league
In between working two jobs
Son said, "Dad, I want to play football."
Found out it was the little round ball
Coached soccer ten years boys and girls
Kid joined late already had seventeen
He was center forward and leading scorer
Two of the best players in state back to back
Played on my teams and once we were only
scored on twice the whole season
Never played the game had to read books
Thanks to the Englishman and 4-3-3 Jimmy Gabriel
Pastor said to me, "We need fourth grade Bible teacher."
The kids knew more about the Bible than me.
Little Jimmy would say, "Mr dandy, that not in my bible."
Next week Jimmy you bring the correct version to me.
Thanks to little Jimmy today a Minister I survived
Girls soccer was fun but we didn't as often won
But trust me I see my little darlings today grown up
And though we didn't win they were the most fun
