since a little boy,
playing baseball,
has always been your joy.
You practice hard,
and sometimes make mistakes,
but you keep on trying,
knowing that is what it takes.
I see the light in your eyes,
and see your dream,
your quiet determination,
to be of value to the team.
Know in your heart,
all dreams can come true,
keep it alive,
deep inside of you.
All who love you,
are behind you all the way,
we feel deep pride and love,
more than words can ever say....
with much love
to my nephew, TJ
TJ is presently
a sophomore at Lafayette College
on a baseball scholarship.
