Second Place Poem by Lindy Jean Kleinhans

By LJK

I won a prize at school today
How wonderfull that felt
A feeling of euphoria
As second place was dealt

I won a reading contest
The most books read to date
It was a big accomplishment
And second place was great

I won the book prize for English language
It wasn't hard to do
And second place was normal now
A standard I got used to

I won a beauty contest
I felt the world was mine
And even as the time would fade
That second place was fine

I won a ton of money
I used it sparingly
But nothing could prepare me more
For the second place I'd be

I won ONE heart
Without competition
I am a once in a lifetime
