The Slam Dunk Kids; Making Each Shot Count

Early morning, shining floors.
The darkness soothes me.
The quiet speaks to me.

Smiling faces; laughter.
Hoops that beckon the challenge.
Make a basket; bask in the glory.
Miss and try again.

Smiling faces; helping hands.
Try again; don’t give up.
Move quickly, knowingly.
Make a pass; someone there to help.
Work as a team.

Take a shot; make it count.
Test yourself; accept the challenge
Try again and again.
Never give up.
You’re a winner.
