I have a story
Many should hear
About the changes
In just two years.

Once a player who didn't play,
Once a bad shooter,
A loser
Who sat on the bench all day.

But then a passion started to come
And I practiced all day
Whenever there was sun,
But still the next year
I wasn't done.

It discouraged me
That I didn't make the team,
But I would get better!
They would see!

I worked and sweat
To prove them wrong,
And did I make the team the next year?
You bet!

Not only did I make it,
But I started every game
And they realized the benchwarmers
Don't always stay the same.

One time the game was tied
And they passed it to me...
I made the winning basket
And was embraced by my team.

I tell you this story
Not to brag,
But to tell you there is hope.
So get encouraged to do better,
Don't get mad.

If you really want it
Just think about me
And the changes my team
Has all seen.
