Positivity, Enjoyment and Ownership

The contest lasts for moments,
tough the trainings taken years,
it wasn't the winning alone,
that was worth the work and the tears.

The applause will be forgotten,
the prize will be misplaced,
but the long hard hours of practise,
will never be a waste.
For in trying to win you build a skill,
you learn that winning depends on will,
you never grow by how much you win,
you only grow by how much you put in.

So any challenge you've just begun,
put forth your best,
and you've already won.
