Million Dollar Baby

The strength to get up again and again no matter how hard she falls,
The passion to keep going even if she has to crawl,
Her mind set on one goal no one can bring her down,
The sea of hope in which she swims so deep that she could drown,
The fire ignited within her soul could never be put out,
No matter what the others say their negativity she flouts,
She works harder every day and not once does she complain,
Her progress is significant but she’d never speak in vain,
She doesn’t get it easy she only receives what she has earned,
She sees success but even so no lesson is easily learned,
She trains from early morning until it’s late at night,
She works her hardest so that one day she can have her fight,
She wants this more than anyone and she always lets it show,
To achieve her dream there is no distance that she would not go,
So much power is contained inside her skinny frame,
She won’t submit to her coach she refuses to be tame,
She proves that she has more will than anyone within her field,
She shows that the weapon of the mind is the fiercest one to yield,
On top of the world she is the best and no one can stop her now,
Until another decides that she isn’t prepared for her final bow,
Just one hit and suddenly her world crumbles to the floor,
The lights go out and she loses her chance to even up the score,
All of her strength won’t help her now she’s forced to remain still,
There’s just one more wish for which she begs her guardian to fulfill,
So with one more breath she says goodnight she will forever be gone,
But she won’t disappear because in the stories her legacy will live on.
