Donald Quarrie
I salute you
Hero of the new generation
Baton carrier from our past
Milestone in the growth of nation
Fresh shadow that the world overcast
I salute you
Who gave a barefooted boy hope
Promise that by ability I win
When diligence expands the scope,
You are the edge where dreams begin.
I salute you,
Mantle relinquished man, passing on
In service to the nation expertise
Around the bend you are still Don
Great Olympian, your praise may never cease.
