Beautiful Disaster
Softball: MUMC Style
An old dusty diamond
Under bright stadium lights
Seems to come alive
On those early spring nights
They came from everywhere
Baptist, Methodist, and many others
To play some softball
Between Christian brothers
Our boys are pretty good
Although they only play for fun
Plus its entertaining
To watch my dad run
You'll hear Chuck yelling
“Come on, we want a win”
Or arguing with the umpire
“Hey! That was in”
We have our power hitters
That smack the ball so hard
Its an instant home run
Catching the outfielders off guard
Some of the guys have never played
Others have played forever
But it's not always about skill
Sometimes it's about being clever
And then there are the fans
That come to every game
Loyally watching from the bleachers
But they are far from tame
They yell and scream
Cheer and shout
We're the loudest fans
I have no doubt
The games bring families together
Father and son play side by side
Moms, siblings, and many others
In the stands, as the beam with pride
There is always good sportsmanship
Hardly a foul word spoken
Win or lose, it doesn't matter
Spirits remain unbroken
We pray before the game
And afterwards too
Its good to praise God
In even the little things we do
The game, the fans, the players
Just playing a game for a while
That's softball
