I may not come in first or third  

or even seventh place

I watch my step and take my time,

Slow and steady wins the race

I may never see my name carved out

or on a wall of fame

I don’t win medals, cups, or gold,

Only loved ones call my name

What does average even mean?

Lacking? Boring? Plain?

But I don’t even chase the heavens

Since the earth is my domain

So next time I go see my friends

perform in games or shows,

I’ll be standing, clapping, smiling,

And supporting from below
