Lay
the foundation of the arena with bronze,
And
make the track with silver lining.
Mark
the finish line with gold
And
amplify the loud roar of the fans,
Cheering
our golden boys and girls to victory.
Hold
your breath for the 100m final,
And
watch every stride of the fastest men on earth.
Be
blown away by the routines of the gymnasts,
And
the endurance of the marathoners.
Feel
the splash of the water,
As every
swimmer swims
And
all rowers row,
Even
as the sailors sail.
Gold,
silver and bronze, we want them all,
As
no effort of the competitors will be in vain.
To compete in the Olympics is not a joke,
So for those without medals,
Keep your heads high.
It's true. The anguish, pain, trepidation, elation, disappointment etc that these athletes face and go through is no joke. Well done to them all
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the likes of Mark Cavendish and Philips Idowu. Anyone that gets to compete should be proud cos that means they are better than a lot of competitors. I hope you've enjoyed watching the games :)
