The Olympics


THE OLYMPICS

The Olympics, what emotion the word creates
Years of training, as the expectant world waits
What is it that inspires the single-minded quest
Striving for the impossible, bodies never at rest
Pushing boundaries to achieve the ultimate goal
Heated determination bubbling deep in the soul

Wanting to be first, the fastest or simply the best
Gain applause and recognition, a mind possessed
Embrace the encouragement from rousing cheers
Relish the atmosphere, losing all doubts and fears
Reach out that bit more securing a place in history
Using everything to advantage, with natural ability

The Olympics stimulate an urgent need to achieve
With the whole world watching, wanting to believe
Some have this obsession, others pledge to support
Competing nations are closer and enjoying the sport
Whatever dream or path a person chooses to follow
This magnificent event encourages a new tomorrow

Amethys, yep what a treat it is when the Olympic games come around. It’s raw, it’s real, it’s emotional. There’s something about seeing people who are truly great at what they do .. I love the honesty. Great television for a change!
