A sports poem about the goals we set and lucky breaks.
All of us laugh, or cry when we’re sad,
Celebrate triumphs or say we’ve been had,
Trust in our teammates, while looking within,
Hold our heads high, and never give in!

For every true, talented person is treasured –
Belief is a promise that cannot be measured.
One can only succeed if they make up their mind
To sacrifice and drive for the greatness they’ll find! 

You’ll bet on yourself when you have that belief,
But talent’s a struggle that won’t preclude grief.
So just be patient and work harder than ever,
And you’ll be rewarded for never saying never!

Luck takes hard work and much perseverance;
The folks who rely on a proactive stance
Will usually comment on the existence of breaks...
Those rare, gifted blessings are what winning takes!
