You May Have Been Found To Be Wanting Poem by Francis Duggan

You may have been found to be wanting when put to the test
But in fairness you did try your very best
And though your best was not good enough at least not this time around
To lose in a good way as you did there is honor to be found
You accepted defeat with a smile on your face
It does take great courage for to lose with grace
As happy in defeat as if you had won
You congratulated the winner said to him well done
For your good attitude you have won new admirers even though you were beat
You offered no excuses you smiled in defeat
It does take a brave one for to lose with grace
Who though disappointed has a smile on his face
To lose with honor is never a sin
The next time around may be your turn to win.
