Olympic Games

Published: August 2008

Only for those of a special breed,

Living a dream, a chance to succeed,

Yesterday's hopes and desires coming true,

Making your mark with records anew

Proving hard work and the daily grind,

Instructing the body, conditioning the mind

Can capture a medal for the whole world to see, with

Glamour and Pride for your country,

As you stand aloft and you flag is flown high, there's

Memories forever, and a tear in your eye,

Enjoying the moment, the admiring looks,

Securing you name in the history books.
