Even in pain. <br />You called the plays. <br />And retrieved the ball... <br />Deciding where to throw it. <br />That choice was yours to make. <br />Not only did you become the quarterback... <br />You are also a team member. <br />One of the players. <br /> <br />If you can not fulfill your part, <br />With a clarity... <br />Do not try to shift your weight, <br />On anyone else's shoulders. <br />Everyone that plays, <br />Should be focused on winning. <br />Even in pain. <br /> <br />Even in pain. <br />You called the plays. <br />And retrieved the ball... <br />Deciding where to throw it. <br /> <br />You've got a lot of 'child' in you remaining. <br /> <br />And no one here is obligated, <br />To listen about 'your' bad days. <br />If you can not fulfill your part, <br />With a clarity... <br />Don't show up! <br /> <br />If you can not fulfill your part, <br />With a clarity... <br />Do not try to shift your weight, <br />On anyone else's shoulders. <br />Everyone that plays, <br />Should be focused on winning. <br /> <br />Everyone here, <br />Unfortunately... <br />Now has to decide, <br />Whether or not they wish to continue... <br />Looking at you! <br /> <br />Do you realize how stressful that is?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
