There are those that stand out, those that shine
Their every step resounds with accolades
Heaven itself eager rains blessings on them
Then there are those that light up momentarily
Fireworks in the sky, gone in twinkling of eye
They too draw admiration, a look of wonder
For that one moment lived in limelight
What of also rans, those that stretched to their limit
May be carried on doggedly till the last breath
Those that battle on each day, head bent, shoulders taut
What reward for their courage, what recognition
Awaits them save empty stands as they reach finish line
Bedraggled, drained, yet soaring in spirit
Perseverance their medal, won in silence unnoticed.
