Whether you win or lose the game
Don’t be too proud nor hide in shame
Someone must lose
Someone must win
For game results are all the same
When you happen to have the luck
Befriend your foe and do not mock
With hurting words please do not stab
For you’ll cause pain inside his heart
And when defeat becomes your fate
Hold your tongue and never hate
Smile pleasantly and merely wait
For luck will come some other date
This is the first poem I memorized.
all the words and the values it has
are still etched clearly in side my brain.
Like Desiderata, I learned to follow this.
