A Winner at Last

I’ve always wanted to be a winner,

To drink from the cup,

Garner the prize,

Speak all the platitudes,

Thank all the little folks,

Soak the applause from a grateful throng.

 

But fame can be fleeting

And crowds can turn ugly,

And notoriety has its price.

The path becomes muddled with

So many choices til

Differences fade between right and wrong.

 

There will be millions… billions of choices

To make in a world

Spinning far too fast.

In the end there is no compromise,

And life has made me

A winner at last.
