The Thrill of the Grass

The sun's heat surrounded me
Beads of sweat trickled my face
I dug my cleats deeper
Into the cool, tall grass
I popped at my worn, leather glove
Squinted my eyes and focused on home
The deafening sound of the thunderous bat
Opened my eyes wide
I swiftly scurried
Over the cool, tall grass
"The thrill of the grass at my feet"
I soared
Landing safely
The ball in my hand
The thrill of the game surrounding me
