Winter Olympics
Monday, 1 March 2010
The 21st Winter Olympics in Vancouver has now come to an end. In the short span of 17 days, I have experienced sheer joy, profound respect and unbridled pride. Other than Shane Koyczan’s poem at the opening ceremony,I can think of no other words to define my emotions accurately:
We can stand here today
filled with all the hope people have
When they say things like “someday”
Someday we’ll be great
Someday we’ll be this
or that
Someday we’ll be at a point
when someday was yesterday
And all of our aspirations will pay the way
for those who on that day
look towards tomorrow
And still they say someday
we will reach the goals we set…
…We are the true north
Strong and free
And what’s more
is that we didn’t just say it
we made it be.
