Apologies to Crosby, Stills and Nash - their song "Helplessly Hoping" was a lot better.

Steadily swimming
She flashes a grin
Doc in a boat
Take's a note
she won't surrender.  
She wants to win
finds strength within.

Worriedly Waiting, 
friend wishes she'd ask herself "why"
and paces the French side.  
Hastily helping, 
she rises a moment 
to wave, before waves re-hide 
He feels pride inside

Stand by the starlight,  
The watch boat is tossed
Pain isn't peaceful,
enter the arena
know the cost
Their bond is a beacon; the channel was crossed.
this race isn't lost.
