"Olympic Prayer" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Standing at the edge of greatness, shining hope competes for medals; the best and brightest of all youth ... spanning chasms of prejudice and misunderstanding created by those before them.
They are our future, tender acorns that we have planted in sport's name; may they become tall, sturdy oaks, branching the sky with hands bearing the dove of peace and teach us all the meaning of love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (c) 2006, Karla Dorman.
Beautifully said Karla...splendid write!
love and peace...Carole

OK, OK. We won a gold in erm 80 and 84 with torvil and dean, john curry in 76-ish, and we may get a medal this year, we did the last time but it was taken away for cheating. Must be great to live in a country knowing you'll win everything except soccer, rugger and cricket...
"Olympic Prayer" flows on to the sea of togetherness on waves of understanding - making foam - of peace for the betterment of humanity in the course of harmony.
Enjoyed the art and the message of "Olympic Prayer".
Even if they compete, and don't win ANY medals, may they take the lessons learned and teach them to the rest of us. The Olympic spirit shines beautifully in your uplifting words! You, my dear, have struck *GOLD*!! BRAVA!!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
This is a delightful prayer Karla, and exemplifies the spirit of goodwill and sportsmanship, which is all important in competition.
The rewards will go to those whose compete with the Olympic Ideals, and we hope and pray our athletes are successful in their honest endeavours !

Loved you poem. Wish them all big wins. Of course if we win big it will be because we are righ and still beat down our people. I can hear it starting now. Who cares, we know we are good. (They do too.)
