The One Who Loses With Grace

To lose without grace even seems a bigger sin Than being arrogant and boastful when you do win If you cannot lose with grace you cannot win with humility At least anyway that's how it seems to me The way we behave is for us for to choose But it takes one of courage and humility with grace for to lose The one who does lose with a smile on his face And shake the hand of the winner and him or her embrace Is one who by good example does lead the way And who will win with honor and grace and humility one day The praises of the winner the majority may sing Which after all does seem a natural thing But the arrogant winner with a smirk on his or her face Is far less of a person than the one who loses with grace.
