Our Biggest Fan

At every game he was there

cheering from the stand,

when we were sure we could not win

he yelled on and on "You Can".

We often felt like giving up

and throwing down the bat,

but there he was, our biggest fan

"Son, we'll have none of that".

Every time we touched the dirt,

we'd hear the big man shout.

If he wasn't cheering from the stands,

he was behind the team's dugout.

He cheered us on and now I know

It wasn't winning or losing to Tim,

He was our biggest fan you see,

and we all were winners to him.

Today we say goodbye from here

and it's so hard to see him go.

The nicest man I've ever known,

The biggest fan he'll ever know.

Last night through tears to God I cried,

"We can't play without him there to cheer".

It was then in my heart I know I heard God say,

"Son, the view of the field is much better from here".
