OLYMPIC GLORY

They came from every corner
Of an ever-changing world,
Diverse in dress and culture,
Speaking unfamiliar tongue,
Each with their special talent,
Eager to put on display
The exuberance and energy
Inherent to the young
Whos' lofty goals exceed the limits
Of our grand imaginations.
Records are no obstacles
When sights are set on high.
Success is bought with passion,
Perseverance, perspiration
And the fortitude to carry on,
Never asking why.
Each and every one of them
A unique song to sing.
Don Quixote's quest pales
With the telling of their story.
They all seek dragoned windmills
To topple in their dreams;
Chasing immortality
To find Olympic glory.
