It takes alarming strength
And the gift of grace
To accept a loss
In the seventh game of a battle fought
Whether in baseball or tennis
The seventh is the last
One final chance to prevail
Before you trot off the court or grass
Winning is everything
When memories don’t let you forget
The willpower and effort reinforce
Only long enough before the score will stand
Winning isn’t anything
If the result produces animosity
To the victor goes the spoil
Even with occasional bitter arrogance
Let your face light up to shine
No matter what the outcome brings
Convey and assert your fortitude
And you’ll never find yourself backing into time
Parting Points: Here's hoping "The Blind Side" wins Best Picture tonight.
