Music is Sport, Sport is Music

Some say cut music but keep sport.
The day is long,
But the life is short.

Why not promote happiness?
Better yet,
Encourage it.

The same skills are learned,
Teamwork and dedication;
When to take your turn.

There is just less competition.
But must we teach children
That only the strong survive?
I know the happy thrive.

So realize this;
Whether Home Runs,
Bach or Liszt,
Life does not end when the final bell hits.
