My Broken Window

Today was a good day

Not everything I wanted to happen happened

My car got hit by a baseball

And now I have no back window

I couldn't believe it

I walked around and everyone in the field was looking at me

Waiting for my reaction

To see what I would do

What was I to do?

I was the owner of the lucky car

That all the kids would remember forever

That the boy who hit the foul ball

Shattered a car window

And it brought everyone together

Just to talk about it

Even the one's that don't talk so much

Out of amazement and shock

Laughing nervously thanking God it wasn't their car

And the manager of the home team ran up to me

And give me the news that they are insured and I will be taken care of

And the boy that hit my car didn't have to feel so bad

My broken window joined together two teams, all their parents and the kids memories forever

My broken window gave me the eyes to see

My broken window made the world clearer to me
