High up there
Out of sight
Out of reach
How did they get there
Want to analyse threadbare
No magic trick
Or Sleight of hand
Still don't get the big picture
Ask the question where
Did they start to dare
To go out there
Wearing their dreams on their sleeve
Not afraid to loose
Starting all over again
Time and again
Enjoying the day
Even if it didn't go their way
Ready for another day
Not to repeat the same mistake
Respected the game
Thought to them
By the coach
Who's every word
Was taken as wisdom
Never in doubt
Of the coach' s clout
To make them win
If not today
One day later
Respect for opponent
His skill and effort
Every drop of his sweat
A piece of advice
His coach no less
Does the same
Finds your weakness
How you could be beaten
What other lesson
Can be taught
Than to have  a list
To have you at a loss
Teaching you to win
Teaching you to loose
Combine both to groove
A step up the ladder
Right on time
Not too soon
Not too late
Now in sight
How the winner
Wrote his fate
Time to erase
To keep a clean slate
Unlearn the learnt
Cup empty to be filled
Process paves the way
Endure the pain
Don't count the hours
You spend to play
Start counting after
Your breath you are no more sure
Is two way
