Down and ready, palms are sweaty
The anticipation builds high;
Serve goes up my feet are steady
I am nervous my mouth is dry
Ball in flight it is so deadly
Pass it to your setter your ally.

Working hard, a perfect medley
Setter puts the ball to the sky
Flies right to the hitter’s alley
The hitter makes the DS cry;
The last hit, the big finally
The opposing team wonders why
We made the court, like Death Valley
Wondering why, JK, they die

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
