The Pursuit to Greatness

Satisfaction; there is no such feeling.

Because the road to greatness is a hard and long one.

Some of the best never stopped like some would,

Because they were never satisfied with only being "good."

 

They worked their fingers to the bone in hopes of a dream,

To forever be one of their generation's best teams.

Two consecutive championships and 78 victories,

Has now written their names in the books of history.

 

Smart and aggressive with the drive and passion to win,

And it looks like next season they will do it all again.

And when you thought their streak couldn't be more great,

They are now on a quest for 88 straight.

 

This team's sensation marks determination,

The best team in the nation on their pursuit to greatness.

No matter when this streak ends, the legacy will live on,

And we will all remember the women of UCONN

This is dedicated to the reigning champs of the UCONN girls basketball team. This will be featured in my next book, which I am trying very hard to bring to everyone (hopefully) by the end of the summer.
