He Always Comes To Play
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

Although I've never met him

I hear about him every day

A man who makes a difference

He always comes to play

 

You would not call him aggressive

He does not seek to provoke strife

But he will not choose the sidelines

In any aspect of his life

 

All of his endeavors

He attacks like championship games

But win or lose when it is over

He is undaunted all the same

 

He can accept a worthy challenge

In the face of doubts and fears

He can stand against the odds

With courage far beyond his peers

 

Others look to him for guidance

When it seems there is no way

They look to him for deliverance

They look for him to lead the way

 

His life is full of blessings

He must acknowledge every day

He lives his life so fully

You can't tell his work from play

 

He attacks his work with passion

His future comes alive this way

He may not like what he is doing

At any point along the way

 

But the joy of great achievement

Earned despite the heavy price

Exhilarating and empowering

He longs for worthy sacrifice

 

When he plays his favorite game

He has no attachment to a role

But making the winning difference

Now that fulfills his soul

 

When the game is on the line

The ball will always come to him

It makes no difference what the circumstance

Conditions could be very grim

 

The other team will always try their best

As their fans will scream and frown

But when the ball has left his hands

Everyone knows its going down

 

He touches the lives of others

His contribution so profound

He gives solace to those in need

His generosity abounds

 

He can cause what few can dream about

For him there is no other way

He lives inside the unimaginable

He always comes to play
