TO THE CHAMPIONS

Who are these people -- These doers of deeds, These dreamers of dreams Who make us believe? Who are these people Who still win the day -- When the odds are against them And strength fades away? These people are champions, For they never give in. A heart beats within them That is destined to win. They follow their dreams Though the journey seems far, From the top of a mountain They reach out to a star. And when they have touched it -- When their journey is done -- They give to us hope From the victories they won. So here's to the champions -- To all their great deeds. They follow their hearts And become winners indeed. { Tom Krause}
