Young Spirit

I’ll carry you in my loud cheer With my heartbeat lift you into fifth gear Use my last strength to push you onto glory With legs striding like chariots of fire Be a force, run faster than the headwind Be a legend, aim beyond the limits of a narrow mind Burn with a hope brighter than a scorching furnace Yearn for so much more than this mere promise May your faith, shine through with each gold medallion Glow with pride atop the podium with each number one position Face life’s challenges head-on and earn your top spot May your young spirit always stay lit I pray you grow to tower tall when faced with giants To never cower nor surrender in spite of your of demons I’ll be your second wind when you’re tired My love be your torch to share a flame, till the bitter end To my son... An excellent pupil and a gifted athlete ...I'm proud of you.
