If I write you a poem, will you take
care? Nourish your spirit through sacred steps
logical as breath, designed for our sake?
Will you practice them and become adept
as you and I have been at basketball?
Surrender to faith that will defeat fear
always when they go one on one? That’s all
it takes for our Great Coach to approach, clear
confusion with grace, draw up proven plays
for winning. Still, we must be willing to
run them, honor esprit de corps the way
all blessed and legendary teams must do.
I pass this message on to you simply
so you can pass it too, and be happy.
