I AM a basketball player
I WONDER if I am good.
I HEAR the ball bouncing on the court
I SEE the hoop
I WANT to make the shot
I AM a basketball player
I PRETEND to be in the N.B.A.
I BELIEVE this shot will go in
I TOUCH the soft ball
I FEEL hope that it will go in
I WORRY that it won't
I CRY when I never can play basketball again
I AM a basketball player
I UNDERSTAND how to play the game
I SAY "Yes!" as the shot swishes
I DREAM that that shot won the game
I HOPE my dreams will come true
I AM a basketball player
