Home

Love always has 
home field advantage,
no matter where 
the game is played.

When it all seems long-over
and even the most loyal fans
have left the parking lot
and headed for what
they believe to be home,

Love comes up
 in the bottom of the ninth.
For some, it is the bottom
of the 18th or 23rd or even 50th+.

No matter if the stands are empty
and even the announcers
have called it quits,

Love has a way of walking,
singling, and sacrificing
the game back to a tie,

until all opponents run out
of relievers and the winning run
crosses the plate.
Yeah, Love wins. Always.
