R.F.
The days will come when you will cease to know,
The heart will cease to tell you; sadder yet,
Tho you say o'er and o'er that what once you knew,
You will forget, you will forget.
There is no memory for what is true,
The heart once silent. May you well regret,
Cry out upon it, that you have known all
But to forget, but to forget.
Blame no one but yourself for this, lost soul!
I feared it would be so that day we met
Long since, and you were changed. And I said then,
He will forget, he will forget.

Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.
