Dear Abby

by Larry Chamberlin   Oct 9, 2011


And in the end
when the contest is done
it's not the accolades
nor the prizes awarded.

The victory is crossing
the finish line,
having run the race
leaving nothing to spare.

Your body is heaving
with the effort
knowing your team has
placed a personal best.

Abby, those who were
about to die
salute you.

Exeunt.
