The Champion
She does a little more.
The average runner runs until
The breath in her is gone,
But the champion has a goal in mind,
That makes her carry on.
For rest, the average runner begs
When limp, her muscles grow
But the champion runs on leaden legs.
Her spirit makes them go.
The average Runner’s complacent
When she’s done her best to score
But the champion does her best -
Then she does a little more."
