Come, little ones, and gather near,
I'll tell a tale for you to hear.
Of a wrestler strong and bold,
Who trained each day, so I'm told.

He lifted weights and ran each mile,
To build his strength and raise his style.
He practiced hard and fought with might,
To become a winner, fair and right.

With a walk so confident and proud,
He stepped onto the mat, unbowed.
His muscles flexed, his heart beat fast,
And he knew this match would be his last.

He gripped his opponent and pulled him close,
And with a mighty toss, he won the pose.
The crowd erupted in a cheer,
For the wrestler who had no fear.

And with a vault into the air,
He basked in victory, without a care.
For winning is what he always sought,
And now his winning stance was caught.

So little ones, take this to heart,
And give each day your very best start.
For with hard work and dedication true,
You too can be a winner, just like the wrestler who.

And if you ever feel the need to play,
Just grab a ball and start to volley away.
