The Prize I Least Deserved

I wrote this for my wife knowing she was the greatest prize of all. I've taken part in games and sport, I've crossed many a winning line. I've battled hard to win a race, Knowing the prize was mine! I've triumphed much against the odds When my chances were less than nil. I've come up trumps, when all seemed lost At the bottom of a long steep hill. I've fought and won when the price was right! I've worn the victor's crown. I worked really hard to achieve all of this, Not letting many folks down. Yet the prize I least deserved was you; My darling, my sweet wife. You gave me love and you gave me hope, To last me all of my life!
