An Athlete's Wish
Oh how I wish I could stay injury free,
and remain as healthy as can be.
Hopefully I possess the determination I need,
so that I can succeed.
To never give up in the midst of a fight,
when victory is just in sight.
To eat the right foods and get plenty of rest,
so that I will be the best.
To be professional both on and off the field,
what benefit good sportsmanship can yield.
To break a old record or two,
score a point, maybe even a few.
To work hard for the good of the team,
so we can all acquire the championship dream.
To hold nothing back and give my all,
so I can add another trophy to my wall.
Though I might not make the big leagues some day,
I just wish I could at least always play.
