Count Me In

I’ve no passion for
   the spotlight, it’s not
   wealth that I desire,
But the game is on
   so why not dip
   my feet into the fire.

For I won’t burn
   I might face ridicule -
   but everyone gets that,
And so I’d rather be
   out on the field
   and give myself a chance.

And if I lose
   so what - that happens,
   I can always try again
I can lose
   a hundred-thousand times
   but if just once I win –

Then I’m a champion
   a hero true
   a man who risked it all
So count me in
   I think its winning time
   and I’m ready for the ball.

Wonderful! And just when I felt like quitting... Funny how fate shows you that you're not done yet!

Thanks all for giving me a read. I'm new to this site but truly loving the experience. I've been a "lone" poet for some time and the ability to share my poems and be enriched by the poems I read here is wonderful. Pleasure to meet you too!
