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.
