The spirit of Tennis

Every time you put the ball in the court
Every fault that makes you shout
Every shot of yours that resounds all over
Every serve that results in an ace
Every drop that screams grace
Every time you are ready with poise
Every time the crowd makes noise
Every move that earns a point
Every stretch that hurts a joint
Every time you make a comeback with venegeance
Every time you play with vigilance
Every time you set a new record
Every time you think never say never
Every time your hand itches towards the racquet
Every time you hold the ball
Every time you give your all
Its not your strength that you are defining
It is the spirit of your game that you are reviving and refining......
