Premium MemberLet The Olympic Games Begin

Let's all celebrate
Motivate and innovate
Let's all have incredible fun
The one that will last more than a lifetime
Every four years, it is that time
Again and again, let's us sprint, jump, run
Like happy rabbits, like flying cheetahs
Let's us enjoy all sports and the hoopla
Let's witness and win the gold medals
Many records will be broken
It is about doing

Premium Memberthe medal

I just won a medal
I wasn’t in a war
I think it’s made of gold
I don’t know what it’s for.

I’m shocked at what it weighs.
They threw me a parade
I got an honorary degree
Jimmy Fallon had me on TV
now everyone recognizes me

My old friends say I’m fickle
by the paparazzi I am heckled
I was notified that it’s ‘taxable’
It

Premium MemberMedals of Honor For Stork

Another medal of honor! What did I do? Asked the stork.
You are a beacon of hope, you bring the light. 
We wait for you, wondering, and you deliver.
I only do my job as God intended, said the stork.
It is more than enough, the new parents said.
Pinning another medal of honor onto his chest.

Tenacious

Take heart amid violent storms 
Triggered by others' ignorance;
For elephants ignore all worms 
Who coil under its titanic might. 
 
Swim on to that higher clime
Where giants dine and wine; 
For all closer shores promise 
No treat above common line. 

Strive for the luminous sun 
Or hurtle down into oblivion;
Forfeit sure ground's safety 
On which

Premium MemberWhen a Hero Stumbles

Out of the ether once came a small child
who hoped to one day fly thru the air.
Diligently applying herself, learning a style,
performing higher leaps, tapping the rare.

She performed somersaults, all in her stride,
with greater and more intelligent ease.
Winning honors and gold medals worldwide,
winning hearts with technical expertise

She became the world's new daring upstart
"sensational, uncanny, never

Premium MemberAlive and With Medals

He stared at his war medals;
As bright as when first minted,
His own lustre long since tarnished;
Only tear-filled eyes now glinted!

He belonged to a generation
That sacrificed its fragile youth,
And traded it for our defence;
For freedom and for truth.

Although a very modest man
Who accepted his war-torn lot,
He wanted the world to remember,
All the others left to rot.

A

Hymn For Fallen Soldiers

DPAA Hymn for Fallen Soldiers
by Michael R. Burch

Sound the awesome cannons.
Pin medals to each breast.
Attention, honor guard!
Give them a hero’s rest.

Recite their names to the heavens
Till the stars acknowledge their kin.
Then let the land they defended
Gather them in again.

When I learned there’s an American military organization, the DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency), that is still

Premium MemberOf Tears and Medals

That little girl, Toula, in third
grade stood,
Tears falling down her red face.
Because she had only won bronze 
and third place.
Ah, what a disgrace!

Older Toula today, still looks at it 
with chagrin.
Though decades have passed,
that very same medal, still does 
her ravishing soul in.

She never got over not being at 
the top.
Though her life is one of

Premium MemberMedals

You ask to know my history
What part of me is best
What were these medals given for
All worn upon my breast.

This one is for bravery
This one is for injury
This one is for gunnery
This one's for artillery.

This one is for nibs and quills
This one is for paperbacks
This one's for the daffodils 
This one's for my screws and

Military Awards and Medals

Awards and Recognition

They patted selves on their very own back;
They do have all things which we will lack;
Am so sore,
We are poor,
Live in towers while we survive in a shack.

Many things medals and awards are about;
Who is the one who can give the most out;
Never sure,
Or can endure;
In whole system  we do have much

And They Gave Me Medals

and they gave me medals...

my hands still shake
sometimes they bleed 
as i return to
another time when
i paid no heed
to a living soul and
no one was safe
from the likes of me.

At this point in time, it is a worrisome time when Malaysia as a country fumbles....
Economics, politics and a divided people are part of her myriad set of troubles...

In sports Malaysians generally sought relief and belief, and a little pride...
It is shocking but the facts are out and Malaysians need to quicken our

My Medals

Looking at the mirror....

I saw some lines,

some strands of grey.....

I panicked

but when i looked

again keenly.......

My heart got

filled with warmth

I thought

These are the medals

bestowed on me

by my life........

They are the signs

that day by day

I am richer

with experiences,

with knowledge,

with love,

Thinking about this

I smiled at my reflection

Fixed my attire

and walked off

with a confidence,I never had before...

Oylmpic Medals

OYLMPIC MEDALS- 
Olympus’s memory told with a long told history of games, 
A long list of contests and all the winners names. 
Gigantic proportions held at the equator each fourth year, 
Winners to leave with a sum and a medal to hold dear. 

World politics split the Olympic Games into sections, 
Communist threat spread, and
