Walk through it...

Walk through the scary parts, don't give in to fear

life throws at you and become a stronger person.

He's just a little boy...

He stands at the plate with his heart pounding fast;

The bases are loaded; the die has been cast.

Mom and Dad can not help him; he stands all alone.

A hit at this moment would send the team home.

The ball nears the plate; he swings and he misses.

There's a groan from the crowd, with some boos and hisses.

A thoughtless voice cries, "Strike out the bum!"

Tears fill his eyes; the game's no longer fun.

Remember - he's just a boy who stands all alone.

So open your heart and give him a break.

For it's moments like this a man you can make.

Keep this in mind when you hear someone forget.

He's just a little boy, not a man yet.

I'm not sure who wrote this.  I found it on a friends link on Facebook.  It was printed on a sign attached to a little league diamond fence.  Underneath it said donated by Cana Tigers, which I believe is a team in Corsicana, TX
