To Win Gold

This poem tells of the sacrifice that an athlete makes to compete in the Olympic Games in order to win a gold medal.

Our bodies have to be healthy

We push ourselves to be fit and trim

Pursuing our passion

To win Olympic gold

Whether it is a marathon, ice skating, weight lifting,

Volley ball, swimming, or high jumping

It calls for hours and hours of training

Throughout the days, months, and years

Our personal trainers by our side

Under different weather conditions we strive

Our families and friends cheer us on

We struggle steadfastly along

With bruises, cuts, and sprains

Hoping to make the U.S. team or break that elusive record

But when it comes down to it

We want to compete in our best form to win gold
