The Point
With upward palm I take good care
To toss the ball and slice the air
It clears the net to his backhand side
He pushes
long and really wide
But on the fall I do no wrong
Brushing the ball my topspin's strong
He now retreats and counter-drives
My footwork
fails as the ball arrives
I fish it out it curves and screams
And he doesn't look ready or so it seems
He's winding up target is locked
He
tries to smash I try to block
And up it goes way over head
Running backwards my shot is dead
I lob it up couldn't be higher
His return
is quick the ball's on fire
Spinning fast and kicking clean
But my backhand push is like a dream
Kissing the net the ball is wide
Opponent
fumbles and is almost denied
He's chopping back and moving in
His wild eyes crazy like I shouldn't win
I lunge and I twist just gripping
the blade
But I hit the killer the point is made

At the same time, with humility & sportsmanship.
We pray that for all

Coming home late & other sacrifices,
