The difference is made
Far away from the spotlight
On a dusty back court
In an old school gym
Out there in the forest
Hidden by the dawn of early mornings
Behind the barrier of pain.
That consistent regular input
Unwitnessed by the crowd
Is what produces magic!
When time has come to cheer for the star
Applaud not only his winning moment
Not only his moment of truth and fame
But his journey towards it.
Celebrate the willpower
Not just on sunny days underneath blue skies
When everyone’s watching
But on the dark desolate ones
Invisible to other eyes.
