Pounding through to the finish line,
You've finally made it through.
Not even close to last,
Right before number two.
This is the moment you were working for,
All the miles trod.
The trophy and the medal yours,
But who really won?
Was it the shoes, the miles, the clothes?
Or the stress, the drama, the despair?
Was rivalry what won?
No, these could never win.
What won were the smiles, the laughs,
The cheers, support, and popsicles,
A coach and team that love you,
Times spent working hard, and sacrifice.
So when you cross that finish line,
Remember the ones that won your win.
Reflect on all of your hard work,
And celebrate together, your gratitude within.
