Runner and Winner

Bat and ball--
The strongest always win
Hands of crowds;
Let the winner celebrate their victory.

Straw and strive--
Those who lose, in efforts
Never lose heart;
Let the runner calibrate their defeat.

The weak and the loser--
They are left behind
Only to go ahead
With unending stretch of ground
Under their feet to tread on

And over their head--
Unending sky of glittering dreams
Basking in the sun of hope
Go, get into and explore,
Glow and grow more and more...
