My Winner

Before every meet,

Nauseous feelings of nervousness

Flush through his stomach.

 

He wins every race

Yet, he still gets nervous.

I admire that.

 

My poster in hand

Kissing him before he runs

Ready to cheer.

 

Always so humble;

First place as I run screaming,

I'm so proud of you!


The author's comments:

This piece was inspired by my boyfriend who is also my best friend. As long as I've known him, he has been good in everything he did and encouraged me to always do my best and I thank him for that. After reading this poem, I hope people remember as long as you remain humble, you are always a winner!
