Life has a way of throwing us curve balls
Some miss us and we avoid being hurt
Others come too close for comfort
We dive for cover and hit the dirt
Diving for cover is not always a bad thing
It gives us time to design an alternate plan
We need that time to gather our energy and courage
Before we jump up and take a stand
We cannot stay down forever
We have to find the strength to fight back
We have to return to that batter’s box
We have to get our lives back on track
Somewhere deep inside all of us
Is the desire to hit those curve balls out of the park
Adversity will not force us down forever
Our desire to win will give our lives a new spark
