Prayer of a Sportsman

A prayer for a sportsman often focuses on fair play, strength, and the ability to persevere through challenges, whether they win or lose. It can also express gratitude for the opportunity to participate and the joy of the sport. -AI Overview Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on through life I ask but a field that is fair, A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; And if should win, let it be by the code With my faith and my honor held high; And if I should lose, let me stand by the road, And cheer as the winners go by. And Lord, may my shouts be ungrudging and clear, A tribute that comes from the heart, And let me not cherish a snarl or a sneer Or play any sniveling part; Let me say, "There they ride, on whom laurel's bestowed Since they played the game better than I." Let me stand with a smile by the side of the road, And cheer as the winners go by. So grant me to conquer, if conquer I can, By proving my worth in the fray, But teach me to lose like a regular man, And not like a craven, I pray; Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high, Yea, teach me to stand by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by. -Berton Braley Minnesota ICE Fest Sportsman (Feb 2025) Overhead veiw of the Annual ICE CAROUSEL event between the folks from here in Minnesota and Maine USA, Canada and Finland For more info check out their facebook pageSpinningIceForKids - Google Search SpinningIceForKids - Blog / Pinterest
