Lets face it now, most days I don’t win.
In spite of all I do, I let myself down.
Many a day, it feels like a loss,
I feel I failed,
My life feels forced.
Not today, though, not today!
All the faith and words acted out,
All the efforts, the labours of love,
Seem to have taken a form so tangible,
Making me feel oh so capable.
Talking things through, doing my part,
Aiding a friend, smiling from the heart,
Standing in front of a crowd of 200,
Holding my own and owning my self,
Not letting the butterflies overwhelm me.
Its a day I’ll cherish for now,
A day of promise and infinite hope,
A day of “You go girl!” and the will to hike on,
A day I feel like a winner.
A winner I am, by being more ME.
