Terry Wheeler Poet I do not know?

A Dream Well Done

After so many years of sacrifice 
and training it’s very exciting to see,
the culmination of all their dreams 
this year in Beijing.

Athletes came from everywhere 
with a vision in their hearts and heads
not qualifying for a medal 
was their one and only dread.

Many hours were spent to perfect their game
to become an Olympic athlete,
to stand upon the podium to hear their 
national anthem would sound so sweet.

Some won more, some won less 
and some did not win at all.
Yet, each one was there to represent their country
when they heard the Olympic call.

To all these mighty athletes I say thank you 
for working from sun to sun
and to all those athletes that did succeed 
I say to you, a dream well done.
