Beyond Greatness - 1st Place, Fifa Women World Cup Poetry Contest

Raise your banners, peals of the orients 
Maidens of fairness and might 
Make proud your dear land and your parents 
Cast your amber, shine so bright 

Light up your flames to touch the sky 
Soar to the heavens, fly so high 
Let the world see your gleaming glow 
From lands of sand to lands of snow 

1st place

Roger, your poem takes the celebration of women athletes to a higher level. "Beyond Greatness." Nice take on the Women's World Cup slogan. Congratulations on your first-place win!
