Gold and Silver reign
You have sacrificed so much
To stand on the podium
This momentous day.
Power, strength and fortitude
Along with dreams of magnitude
Made come true
The Gold and Silver reign today.
Stars in every way
You have done the work
You’ve earned the right
To hold Gold and Silver
Close to your heart tonight.

Olympic Gold
Gives wealth in all things to behold.
In the journey to compete
The soul finds inside things that are best to keep
Power, strength and fortitude
Unbelievable, bigger than all magnitude
Along with sharing, caring, you will succeed
Receiving Gold
Either on the hill or in all that you seek.
That’s a winning goal nothing less than
Olympic Gold.

Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.
Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.
Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.
Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.
No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.

The light comes thru
Just a crack
Lighting all that has been
Black
Giving hope, strength
On it’s lighting way.
The more you see
The more it spreads
Bringing salvation to those
That had no destiny
Only dread.
Just one spark of light
Can spread and fill
The dark of night full of
Happiness
And most of all
Delight.

Sadly, secret murky tiled
No hope, destitute merciless bile
Twist, turn fight and bat
Get to where the strength is at
Mess, mired deep down in
No way open can’t begin
Mutter, sputter rage and fume
Makes no difference
The rose still blooms.

Can I fix it?
Will I be the one
That’s the hero
In a situation
That should not be?
Crushed and miserable
Full of doubt
Must move forward
Cast it out.
Smile with gratitude
Mean it
See it radiate
All about.
My strength and smile
Will cast misery out.
Can I fix it?
I have no doubt.

Thank you Ingrid
For your lovely thanking card.
I found within the fold
Kindness, strength and power
Caressed with courage
So untold.
Love of life
A will to be part of all
You can behold.
Thank you Ingrid
For your lovely
Loving thanking card
That I hold.

The strength, the stress is powerful
I will ride its energy to my destination
Knowing I am not alone nor judged but protected
And loved.

May my soul find the secrets
Hidden deep in my heart
May the pleasure never
Ever, ever depart.
May I find justice
For the things unfairly done
And may the sun shine
On all those I love
Each and everyone.
May I find the strength
To stand up straight
And not waiver
In the thoughts
That can make me see
Greatness
Greatness in all of thee.
Yes
May my soul believe
And see
All that is wondrous
In this secret place
Called me.

Give me strength
Power and might
To do what
in my heart
I know is right.
No sacrifice
Is too great
When in the end
I’ve done the things
I know are right.
Pain and anguish
May be mine
But if my heart
Turns sad to love
Then it’s right.
So please
Give me strength
Power and might
To do that which
In my heart
I know is right.
