BARCELONA OLYMPICS

ULTIMATELY , THE WORLD LOOKS TO BARCELONA,
FOR THE SUPERLATIVE IN THE ATHLETIC CALL.
ALL THEIR LIFE IS A ONE DAY FOCUS,
HOPEFULLY , THE PODIUM AND STANDING TALL.
OLYMPIC GOLD HAS DRIVEN THEM FOREVER,
WITH OCEANS OF PRACTICE AND OCEANS OF SWEAT.
NOBODY KNOWS TRUE SACRIFICE MORE,
TO THESE ATHLETES , THEIR COUNTRIES ARE IN DEBT.
THEIR MOMENT IN THE SUN , SO BRIEF,
YET THEY'D DO IT , ALL OVER AGAIN.
BEING AN OLYMPIAN IS A TRIUMPH,
FOR THEIR EPITOME , SOME PLEASURE , FOR PAIN.
BARCELONA SALUTES THE OLYMPIANS,
THEIR EXCELLENCE DESERVES SUCH PRAISE.
SPANISH HOSPITALITY SURELY CHERISHED,
BY OLYMPIANS IN THEIR BEST OF DAYS.
