She's Just a Little Girl

She stands at the plate with her heart pounding fast;

The bases are loaded; the die has been cast,

Mom and Dad can not help her, she stands all alone.

A hit at this moment would send the team home.

The ball nears the plate, she swings and she misses.

There's a groan from the crowd, with some boos and hisses.

A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike out the bum!"

Tears fill her eyes; the game's no longer fun.

Remember - she's just a girl who stands all alone.

So open your heart and give her a break.

For it's moments like this a woman you can make.

Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.

She's just a little girl, not a woman yet.
