The Rio Games
The Olympic games are ending soon,
Oh, what a show it's been,
With athletes losing gracefully
And gracious when they win.
Bringing honor to their countries,
Their families and their sports.
Behind the scenes they mingle
And listen to reports.
USA gymnasts are a wonder,
They have gobbled up the gold.
The tales of these fearless athletes
Will be told and retold.
If only nations followed
The examples of their youth,
Problems would be solved without a war.
We'd be winners in all truth.
Before next games in 2020
May the world find a lasting peace
And leaders who've learned lessons
And formed friendships such as these.
