My Coach You are my faithful friend, my coach, my sparring partner, You teach me all about defense, fair play, and not to barter, or fix a fight for evil ends... And though sometimes Your lessons hurt, You feel my pains, my fears as well. Though it may seem You do not care, about my groaning, my longing for the bell, You'll stay around to wipe my face... But when You send me, tough and trim, into the ring of daily life, to face my foe, the Evil One, who waits to fight me for what should be Yours, You're there to quench my fear, my coach, my God... |

My Coach, what a way to put it. I never thought of Him that way. We battle everyda over good and evil. I really like how you brought this across. Very well done. <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |
