A Trophy For Everyone

I am fairly certain that I
couldn't write a Love Guide? 
I could try – after years of developing
a connoisseur-like wandering eye -- 
but, after all has been said
and dones (need the plural), about
my many non-wins, and, not so many, 
in fact, few occasional-wons~  ahead of time, 
outcomes, whether day or night, 
I've never been right! 

But, I can say, it is definitely not
about degrees of intelligence...or, in my case,
lack of degrees. As for feelings, losers are just
as passionate – my firsthand accounts

more, I think, love can be likened to a 
horse-race: if one doesn't break a leg
or foul before the finish-line, even
last place is deserving of a trophy – 
for just having been brave enough
to compete~ on blessed occasion,  
finishing affectionately
with 4 feet.
