CHAMPION

CHAMPION

The average runner sprints

Until the breath in him is gone;

But the Champion has the iron will

That make him carry on.....

For rest, the average runner begs

When limp his muscles grow;

But the Champion runs on leaden legs,

His spirit makes him go!

The average man's complacent

When he does his best to score,

But the champion does his best

And then-he does a little more.
