Best Sportslife Poems


We Have Lived, Loved, Lusted -

We have Lived, Loved, Lusted …

FAILED SUCCESS brought man to his LUSTY LOT in LIFE –
The game of life is much like a game of sports.
One cannot win any game unless he tries.
Neither can one lose a game without playing.
Furthermore, one cannot play the game…really play the games,
Unless he has at least put forth his best effort.
And so it is that life is a perfect example of FAILED SUCCESS.
Here we are successfully living mortal lives.
WHY?  WILLING WAYWARDNESS.
That’s it!  Eve and Adam willingly failed to obey God.
Did they intentionally throw the game of immortality?
WHY WOULD they?  How could they?
Intentionally giving up immortal life seems unfathomable.
Did AMAZING DULLNESS plague immortality?
Sure, mortal life might be full of trials and tribulation
That sometimes makes a man feel like the LIVING DEAD,
But playing the game of life is where the real fun is.
And we get to play because our first parents failed. 
Or did they?  They brought mortality and progeny; thus, we 
Have LIVED, LOVED, LUSTED, LAUGHED, AND LEARNED.

Will I

will I

I think about my future and dreams each and every night.

Will I go to Florida and start a new life.

Will I ever get the chance to get in that ring and fight.

will my passion and love for this take me far and give me fame.

Will they boo me or chant me name.

Will this change my life or will everything remain the same.

Will I take all these picture down, pack my bags and move away.

Will I leave this town and everything in it, or will i stay.

Will I say good bye to the people that I love and go after my dreams.

Will I have the courage to stay strong when life isn't what it seems.

I promised my self that I wouldn't run away from life and lose and regret it all.

I will never give up when the flights and road trips just seem to long.

I refuse to fall flat on my face when everything goes wrong.

The desire and passion to come down that ramp and wrestle in that ring.

Just to experience the crowd in my hands one time, I would do anything.

Win or lose id be proud of the fact that I have tried.

To me its worth all the blood, sweat, pain, and cried.

I know the business is full of craziness, drama and lies.

I love it to much to ever say good bye.

people try to fill my head with fear and doubt, but they really don't know what this is
really all about.

WWE is my life and a part of me.

I am watching you on T.V;

hoping that one day that could be me.
