Poem For Athletes -'Mia'

Proud and fearless they await the blank handgun Olympic battles have just begun Endurance and persistence have been the least of fun Motivated and being cheered on, by each and everyone Failure has been the best way to learn Overall respect is what they had to earn Raising their flags up high, is what all athletes yearn All the sleepless nights and fears Tears of joy paid off the fruitless years Heart and soul they’re in the game Letting them rise to glorious fame Enjoying every minute on the track Thoughts of failure, they never look back Excellence achieved, with trophies in hand Shining stars singing the anthem of their proud land 07 September 2021
