Olympian
(Dedication: Congratulations to
Joseph Schooling, Singapore's first
Gold Medallist, Rio Olympics 2016)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy in meek voice as triumph speaks loud,
Opt a fine win in swift sure speed;
Set winning poise humble not proud,
Etch hard work seen with gold disc deed;
Prime purpose moves with passion pure,
Heart and mind show how focus gains.
Sense effort groove with gut feel sure,
Calm and clear flow in action plain;
Heed the deep feel as time reveals,
Oblige the truth as success sums;
Olympic will as goal meets thrill,
Live ample proof in great outcome;
In this grand glow of winning page,
Niche medal show of gold onstage,
Glimpse profound flow that comes of age.
