A CHAMPIONS POEM TO LIVE BY
Folder:
OLD POEMS GLORY DOTH NOT LIE IN A CROWN THAT RESTS
UPON AN EGOTISTICAL HEAD
AND ROUND THE NECK OF A TRUE CHAMPION
NOT A MEDAL FOUND
NOR IN BOISTEROUS COMMENTS HE HATH SAID
HONOR DOES NOT LURK ON A FACE OF OVER CONFIDENCE
ONLY DRIVEN BY PRAISE, VANITY, AND CHEERS
DESIRE IS IN HIS HEART AND CONSCIENCE
AND GLORY SHOWN THROUGH HIS BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS
THE ELITE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WALTZ INTO
'TIS MORE LIKE A LEARNED REBIRTH
FOR CHAMPIONS FEEL PAIN TOO
BUT THEIR BREAKING POINT IS NOT OF THIS EARTH.
