The Sportsman's Prayer

Dear Lord,
In the Battle that goes thru life,
I ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all my strife,
A courage to strive and to dare.
And if I should win, let it be by the code
with my faith and my honor held high.
And if I should lose, let me stand by the
road and cheer as the winners go by.
Amen
