The Champion Poem by Uche Nwanze

Give me wings to fly, so I may navigate the skies of greatness
Give me the strength of a lion, so I may win a thousand duels
Give me the mind of a child, that I may enter the gates of paradise
Give me the wisdom of a fool, so I may hoax my foes
Give me the speech of a mute, that I may tame the flame of my fiery anger
Give me the voice of an angel, that I may sing to my beloved
Give me the beauty of the sun, that I may catch a glimpse of longevity
Give me the stride of a giant, that I may stand tall
Give me the destiny of a cat, that I may have nine lives
Give me the appetite of a glutton, so I will never be content with average
Give me the heart of a champion, that I may never stop winning
Give me the Spirit of a pugilist, that I may never stay down
Give me the face of a masquerade, so I may mystify my critics
Give me the laughter of a jack ass, so I may confuse the doubters
Give me the vision of an eagle, that I may see the face of tomorrow.
