Bowling
Bowling is learning the art of balance
It is the yoga of the moving ball
The ultimate challenge of standing on one foot
while your torso teeters.

When bowling the young
learn the art of prayer.
“Please let the pins fall."
"Please let the pins fall!”
“Just a little more to the right,"
they say as they teeter
just a little bit.
From bowling,
one learns that life has it shares of
ups and downs.
Some balls fall in the gutter
and some sail
straight
down
the
middle
like a rocket,
all the pins fall
except
the last on either side.
That’s when the fun begins.
When you’re a bowler it’s all about
positioning.
Posture is everything.
distributing your weight
right to left
left to right
Learning just how to get
that special little bounce
down the lane,
like skipping heavy rocks
Life is a river when you’re a bowler.
Bowling is life in miniature
The cup is half full
The pins are half down
The ball is
halfway down
the lane
as well
You are always a winner
even when no pins fall!
Keep your eye on those pins
And your feet in every bowler's
secret weapon,
bowling shoes
in their shades of tan and green,
when you wear them you will fly!
and remember
Life is good,
the lanes are always polished
and
there is always a turn to spare
when you’re a bowler😀
Thanks to my most special bowling pals today.
