Today's word is
A lovely, strong, and forthright word. Makes me think of chivalry and honor, naturally, but what else?
I'll be back when I know.

Champion
I love for you to win.
You know that.
I am on your side,
always,
'til death
or an early frost
us do part.
But it is not the winning
that wins me.
It's not the losing either.
It's something else.
Your wins make me cheer.
Your losses exact my sympathy.
But in good seasons and bad,
it's not the way the game goes,
but your constant, open heart
naked, raw, and true,
more vulnerable
than even a surgeon
can make it,
and just for me,
that earns you
my fealty.
