It goes without saying, things won't be the same
You were a great asset to this old ball game
We'll all recall your devotion and skill
And your love for the game that upheld your strong will
The time that you spent and committed to play
Left a lasting impression that's with us to stay
You may have not been as well known as Babe Ruth
But there are few like you, Captain, that's the truth
I hope that your future, with each passing year,
Leaves happy memories of your old life here
We'll miss you, no doubt, and you'll be on our minds
In our warm thoughts you won't be left behind
So this is the hope that I'm sending with you:
That the rest of your days are full of home runs too!
Happy retirement, Captain. Make sure that hanging up your bat and ball is just the beginning to your next great adventure. You will be missed!
(Just a super quick poem written per request from someone for a retiring baseball player called "Captain".)
