Living Life Poem by Ray Hansell

The desire to be
The will to succeed
The patience to wait

Questions to understand
Knowledge to learn
Learn just to learn

Lose gracefully
Be humble in victory
Never cheat just to win

Comfort a loser
Congratulate a winner
Recognize all participants

Have class
Have style
Always remember where you came from

Be proud of your accomplishments
Own your failures or short comings
Never brag or boast

Some people win
Some people lose
Sometimes we don't get to choose
