If I Froze Time If I froze a moment The moment in the middle of a free throw The last shot at the basketball game The shooter frozen while lining up For her shot The sweat beading on her face Frozen Everyone in the audience Frozen If I unfroze this moment We would win or lose. Pondering about what I should do I unfroze it The shooter did her final lining up Sweat now pouring down her face Like a pitcher filling up a cup with ice tea Everyone in the audience Shaking Last Dribble The ball goes up The buzzer sounds Swish the last shot and winning basket Was made.
