We deem the team, or person, br Or thing, that stands high, tall, br Or is the last to fall; br br As a champion, crowned br The winner, the choice. br He who conquers the utmost br Which leads to nothing br But do it again and again. br br AS: D. Wayne Lukas in the br Summer of 2000, gained victory br Of his 13th Triple Crown with br A colt named Commendable. br br Then, at Pebble Beach, br The disbelief of last year’s best, br Paine Stewart, void in their br U. S. Open. In the prime br Of his career, death overcame him. br br With Lance Armstrong’s br Ownership of the Tour de br France, five years now, straight, br And cancer battles in-between. br He’s not a victim, but a survivor br With five yellow jerseys, br He’s with courage, this lion-hearted br Valiant, conductor of bravery. br br He’s like our troops that still stay br And fight for America and her freedom br So the Lance Armstrong’s br Can participate in the game of life br And be crowned champion br Of their family’s hearts.br br Carol D.
