Determination
and years of training have brought
them to this moment;

the spotlight on them;
the entire world watching,
united as one

behind the athletes
standing at the starting gate
of Olympic fame -

love for the sport shines
as bright as the medals they
have already one

in their golden dreams;
the pressure is off; nothing
can shake their focus:

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.
Hope remains for mankind; we
watch greatness happen.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

Hooray, a tribute to atheletes the world over. I really admire great atheletes. Their sacrifice is immense. My son lives in Beijing. Maybe he'll invite me over.
