You May Be Found To Be Wanting

You may be found to be wanting when put to the test But why worry about it you did try your best To the race for the top spot by one better than you beat But what matter most you were gracious in defeat The praises of the winner the majority sing But you went down with honor and that is a great thing You did not make excuses the winner of credit you do not deny You did lose with grace and to win you did try By admitting you were not good enough on the day You accepted defeat in an honorable way By your good attitude in defeat honor you do gain You proved yourself to be noble and not in any way vain One of a rare breed who can lose with grace You looked like a winner with a smile on your face.
