rest in peace Phillip Hughes

Life is full of highs and lows; it will put you to the test
How you choose to handle it; divides you from the rest

I know that right now you're hurting; because you had to let me go
And I'm sorry I never got the chance to tell you; I want you all to know

My time in the baggy green is not over; in fact the game has just begun
Because when you take to the pitch; we play together as one

There's a moment of complete silence; as you walk onto the field
In a second you will represent your country; trying to win that shield

Just like facing a fast ball; from Mitchell Johnson to be in fact
You're not going to let life's obstacles; ever hold you back

You may find the team in a position; not where you want to be
Just sit tight, don't panic; remember you're playing this game with me

Life will throw a few curved balls; so never fear that you will strike out
Sometimes needing 60 from 40; is where strength will come about

Take a breather when your not on strike; study the opposing team
In life sometimes you need to let go; it's not as bad as it may seem

The last overs are fast approaching; it's time to plan your attack
Without some good boundaries; you may just get the sack

The task it may not be easy; but don't loose faith my friend
You may find that there's a gap down on the northern end

Take the chances that you're given; feel the faith and give it your all
Winning is not everything; it's about how you handle the toughest ball

As you look up at the scoreboard; see the chances that you took
You will see an angel playing with you; just take a closer look

Although I may not be there to tell you; or show you how much I care
Just know every time you walk onto that pitch; I'll always be right there.

Did you watch Warner get his century Bob?

Phil Hughes and his family won't have peace if the media doesn't give up pushing it into everyone's faces every day.
