Number Seven

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Number Seven
on the back of her jersey
as pitches thrown with
precision fly from her hand;

Number Seven
on the back of her jersey
as the ball bouncing down the court
finds its way to her for a dunk;

Number Seven
on the back of her jersey
as she serves the ball and
spikes it over the net;

Number Seven is her number
but luck has nothing to do with her skill

*My granddaughter plays many different sports and has been Number Seven in every sport for so long that everyone knows it is her number!
