Sometimes I forget the times when I would envy watching other kids play sports
Finally came a small opportunity to step on the pitch and pass around the ball
Eventually this changed to wishing I would come off the bench
Then came a time, when wanting to win clouded everything else
And when I wouldn’t win, my grandfather would tell me…
“Granted, you’ve been dealt a bad deck of cards.
But at least you have a seat at the table.
Because there was a time when you couldn’t even imagine have the chance to lose”
