My Basketball
By Kristian L

There are so many people who love basketball,
And millions of balls are sold each year,
However,
Every players ball is special to them.
My professional indoor and leather ball,
A ball that I keep near me always,
A ball that is now 2 years old,
And has been with me for those last 2 years.
For those 2 years that I improved my game so much,
For those 2 years that I changed schools,
For those 2 years that I’ve constantly used it,
For those 2 years that I’ve changed so much.
The ball has stuck with me,
I know that it isn’t alive but it’s like a friend,
A friend that has my name on it,
A friend that has my phone number on it.
To so many people,
This is abnormal behaviour,
But for me and my ball,
It’s a common and everlasting relationship.
