LONDON 2012 - the poem

To all who compete, all who watch.

 

.

 

YOUR GOLDEN DREAM

.

 

This is your moment in the sun

You've travelled far to live this now

To hit your personal best and how!

To make us one in peace and fun

.

 

O how you wave and give a bow!

The starter's gun is in the air

You are the one! you are the dare!

Now is your time to keep that vow

.

 

O how you fly with golden flair!

To show the world how swift you run

This race is yours, the gold is won

This victory .. is sweet and rare

.

 

O how we love your golden dream!

You are the one! we are the team 

 

.

Author's Note

Your London poet will be there. I've seen the torch and am inspired by the spirit of the moment.

I took the pic of the torchbearer when the torch passed through my city a couple of weeks back. The torchbearer was actually smiling broadly as she passed, I just caught her between smiles.

How exciting. I can't imagine the rush of the city. The energy of the people and all that's going on must have it all buzzing. Enjoy every minute (:

This is really good..you capture the spirit of the Olympics...
If I made a suggestion, it would be to change "Who's" to "You've" in the second line.

I pray for the safety of the spectators and athletes this year. I hope that we can put aside the differences of our races..religion...hopes and dreams...to embrace the better half of humanity. Joined together not in competition...but in spirit of the game...your poem...envokes the beauty of the game....life's race finding the finish line for the whole world to see! :D

Special moment, special times. Each is a winner. Each is an inspiring story all by themselves.
Report often poet.
May all be safe and may the joy be contagious.
Well written, sir.
