No Medal, No Glory
It's both a man's and woman's ultimate dream
to be recognized and be forever exalted
as a champion for that glorious moment;
and it might be a self-induced greed:
to be determined the unforgettable winner,
while the crowds applaud with cheer!
" No medal, no glory! " everyone's motto should be
as they anxiously step on the silent platform...
holding their breath and hoping for a successful outcome,
which will finally reward them with an immortal victory;
and they have longed for that and given it worth,
to make it an instantaneous reality with an intrepid form!
" No medal, no glory! " for the elusive ones who fear defeat,
and have no confidence left to confront a last conflict!
