Basketball Memories

To stand amidst the doorway tall
A tilted head, an orange ball
Thoughts of times not far away
With pleasant thoughts of fun and play

A tragic turning of events
And thoughts of so much time misspent
I wish it could be different now
Some way I wish, some way, some how

If only things were different
And choices hadn't been made
Perhaps I would still be here
Had not that final card been played

What's important now is I'm OK
And I am with you every day
Even as you face life on your own
You need to know you're not alone
