Olympic Poem: Going for the Gold

I’ve dreamt of you for far too long,

Spent years of training to make me strong.

For that one moment, for all to see,

Standing high on a pedestal, yeah that’s me!

To hear my country’s anthem sung,

It makes me wonder what I’ve done.

To become the greatest in my sport,

Now a gold medalist, yes me of course!

A single tear runs down my face,

As I look around this wonderful place.

I hear the cheers of fellow fans,

The support of my country that told me I can!

My country’s flag is flying high,

I feel as I can touch the sky.

I came to the Olympics with a team,

I leave as a champion, this must be a dream!

Many Athletes compete in the games,

Not too many will be household names.

The world’s best of the brave and the bold,

But only few conquer, Olympic gold!
