The following poem was written by Juan A. Pérez in memory of Roberto Clemente, Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder from 1955 to 1972 born in Carolina, Puerto Rico who died on New Year's Eve at the early age of 38 while in a mission to help the victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua:

The Game's True Leaders

He played the game
of childhood dreams
with humble grace
of mountain streams.
He learned so early
through his time
the selfless purpose
of his life.

His human pride,
his elegance,
not in a hundred
years surpassed.
From far away
gave us a gift,
too valuable
to leave adrift.

Some saw the game
as being the end
he knew the end
and played, he played!
When in the face
of human pain
some wasted time,
he ran and helped.

For all who saw
and didn't know
they were in front
of royal grace,
a modest place
where rivers wed
saved us a wall
of right field fence.

On holidays
of cheer and joy
when smiles abound
for girl and boy,
there is a town
down by the sea
where grown men cry
on new year's eve.

Remind me game
of boyhood dreams
that men of grace
knew how to play.
The game's true leaders
learn early in time
the selfless purpose
of their lives.
