A True Champion

It's not always about winning first place What really counts is that you challenged the race A true champion can bravely accept defeat Still feeling good about himself though he got beat The important thing is that you gave it your best Keep a smile on your face and forget about the rest Through it all, always maintain your self esteem You're not a loser just because you didn't make the team It doesn't matter if you are falling way behind You're still a winner when you cross the finish line It's your courage and determination that sets yo apart Your chances may be small but you've got a big heart In life don't let your failures bring you down Have the will to get up when you hit the ground Through life's journey many trials will come your way But believe in yourself and victory will be yours someday
