I went to my first basketball game when I was about five. It was exciting-my whole family went to the stadium at what was then called Southwest Texas State College and watched the girls basketball team from Dime Box play another team. Oh, I wanted to play like those girls! I practiced dribbling for hours. Dribbling was and still is my best basketball skill. I've never played on a team, but I still like watching the games.

My son played basketball when he was a freshman in high school. At one of the games, there was a guy on the opposing team who played the entire time with a big smile on his face. You could tell he loved playing. Watching games like those inspired this poem.
