Finishers

They have no complaints, excuses. or regrets
They give it all to achieve their quest

They go beyond the 7th inning stretch 
Refusing to stall but to do their best

They never quit before the last 12 gruesome minutes
They never pause before the last 15 gruling minutes

They know that a well done life is alive and well until the finish
They realize that life is to be enjoyed like your favorite sport

They reserved no energy for tomorrow's game,
Realizing that today is the day to leave it all on the court

Finishers believe in being more than a starter,
Finishers believe in enduring the 4th quarter
