Vignette-Winning Gold

He won gold,sprinting apace Yet on a Sunday would not race; Later,upon a mission field His freedom lost,was made to yield- Then met his master,face to face. Tribute to Eric Liddell(1902-1945) of 'Chariots of Fire' fame,died in a Japanese internment camp.

this was a great one. Eric Liddell a lot of people didn't know that he was a missionary, they know about him through Chariots of fire the movie and thats it, I'm glad you shared this with us, and you did him Justice. thank you for reading my Old Age, I see that your the first one to give a comment on it and thank you.
