Champion

What makes a champion?
Is it the three tiered stand
Gold metal around his neck
And flowers in his hand.

What makes a champion?
Crossing the finishing line
With a scream of success
making it in record time.

What makes a champion?
Endurance to keep on
No matter what the challenge
Or what you happen upon.

What makes a champion?
Is it the goals that are set,
To be the best at it all
Taking every challenge they get.

What makes a champion?
What sets them apart?
Do strength or speed matter?
Or do you just need heart.
