Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Of all the possibilities your father
Offered to his wife

To nurture and grow inside her womb
You won the race for life

You my friend are a winner
none like you walks this earth

From the very first you led the pack
long before your birth

On days that you forget this fact
that you were meant to be

 Take your place among champions
there's a place here right beside me

Can't claim the title as my own as is an expression serving as the carrot to all who strive ie that golden fried chicken dinner with the fixens to boot

For sure, everyone of us is far greater than any event or idea -- an eternity with all potential from the get-go. Perfect write!

This is really sweet and oozes confidence in both yourself and the subject of your poem. Cute expression used as your title.
