Coming In Last Place

I would rather come in last
For it would gave another the win
I have placed my ego behind me
For I do not need to win

Winning to me is just to see
Your comment to me
That is a win
I would rather be last then

Hi Bobby, I agree, when we get comments that inspire, uplift, encourage or just to say hello is most definitely a win. I enjoyed your words written from the heart my friend:-) Alexis

Nice, selfless sentiment. In this era of arrogance, nice to see a little true humility. Best wishes, Gershon
