Inspired
Commenced in sheer incredulity
At just another friend’s adroit skill
As he dribbled with seemingly unflawed action
“Awesomeness” personified, miens to kill.
Unacquainted with the toil it desired
Or the bliss triumph would transcend
Evolved gradually through practice
Accrual in attachment failed to comprehend.
Until benumbed with ecstasy
I stood pondering at all praise
That resounded from the mouths of those
Who once chided, now my brace.
Coach reproached “Jump Higher, expand your range”
Team-mates helped encourage growth
Expectancies levied the burden of convalescence
On shoulders that could use support.
Heartfelt tears aroused at every loss
Confrontation with failure nurtured sportsman spirit
Success naturally ensued with the thrill of victory
All a friend’s panache, Inspired by it!
