Motivation Poem #2: Reach

Reach
By Sarah Obermayer 

 

To play is to reach for the point
and the win, But reaching, I have found, ha

to come from within. I try hard and reach right through the pain, Through the physical and mental strain. But each time I reach I seem to come up short, With the final lap to the distant court. When you reach, give it all you've got, and give a little extra with each shot. So eventually it will come so easy to you, And into the net, the ball will go through. Find the motive to reach and you've got it all, But remember, with winning, sometimes you fall.
