Always One Better

You may be quite brilliant at whatever you do But remember there's always one better than you The World number 1 as number 1 does not stay Some one will displace them that's life as some say If not sooner then later the best can be beat And the champion is moved to tears in defeat And the adulation goes to the new number 1 As well as the big prize respect and honour by the winner is won The ego of the number 1 with each victory may grow But whether it be a he or a she that person ought to know That one day they too will be seen as over the hill And if age doesn't beat you some one younger will You may feel that one greater than you is not out there to find But there's always one better you keep that in mind.
