PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY FIRST PLACE POETRY TIMELESS-ENDLESS Wilbur Braithwaite 58 North 2nd East Manti, Utah 84642 gives its high for a day or week. Spirits soar to euphoric heights as victors achieve what they seek. Then changes come as months roll on and peristyles reaching the sun Slowly descend to common earth where laurels anew must be won. Losing gives remorse and regret for hours or perchance a long year. Vanquished yearn for the jeweled crown so elusive and yet so near. But seasons quickly move along and agonies felt from a game like a fire that has lost its flame. Sportsmanship is timeless, endless - transcending results of a score - Teaching precepts for daily life to live in the psyche evermore. Sportsmanship knows the inner heart is longing to do what is right: to give each opponent a fight. Sportsmanship reflects the spirit burning bright in the soul within, Whispering it's okay to lose as long as you play fair to win. 91 |
