About Someone

Rival’s Fire

In the challenge of your ways,
Lies a world of rival days.
Each moment you hold, each dream you weave,
Reflects a heart, that does believe.
Your rivalry, a boundless light,
Turns darkness into sight.
With every move, every cheer,
You show a heart, sincere.
In your competition, life does sing,
A melody of everything.
Forever challenging, forever true,
In your spirit, life renews.
