Usain Bolt

Unfettered lightning lash through the fury of the rain, Sizzle mouths dry with shock of glory. Athlete that made our jubilee golden, mighty Usain Inciting the petrified blend each new victory Nested within love of hope and love of glory. Bridge us through the overbrimming and the pride Olympian, orbit history like a carpet before Love's lesson cannot be spelt again. Be strongly sure Thunder will not break the pact between possibility and dream. ii Usain Bolt, do you know what limit is in our flesh Surfing on opponents wind strainless to the end African panting away from the hard invisible mesh Inflicting us with pain - memories with me contend Naturally, for the ***** rises as human again. Bold man of grace, runner with the panther's ease Ovations rise from within and without the race Laurels for the worth that we may not grovel on our knees Triumph has many friends where love secures its place. iii Understanding only a form of speed tells nothing still Simpler in the hearts denied a brighter beacon burns A worth within the breadth and scope of human will Insistent above the error of history, respect now earns Nation and ***** a voice to speak in all the cause of man. Bridge me then delight into the glory of your jubilee Omit me not to light a princely tribute for your deeds Lovelier than the loveliest of gazelle in raptured glee Thundering in hostile skies where only lightning succeeds. iv
