At The World Championships

A siver or bronze medal a great achievement but something not all does choose
Where for the winners of gold so many have to lose
Out on supreme glory in sports greatest test
Amongst the World's elite athletes only one can be best
To be best in your Country is quite a big thing
And your praises your Country's fans feel proud to sing
Of your Country's athletes the best of the cream
But to be best in the World is everyone's dream
At the World Championships you ran your greatest race
But you feel disappointed you just lost out on third place
In your code of sport in your Country the number one athlete
And against the best in the World you heroically did compete
And though you feel disappointed a bronze medal you did not win
To be fourth best in the World is never a sin.
