May I go?
Written by Terri Bowen
I want to go where an Olympic Torch glows
Past crowds of shining eyes and hopeful hearts
Reaching out in streams of warmth and redness
Of our Canadian origins and multi-futures
I want to go where Olympic Torches flows.
I want to go where an Olympic athlete goes
Past attainable and unrecorded targets
Striving beyond initial fears and dreams
Of health and heights to summits beyond
I want to go where Olympic athletes go.
I want to go where an Olympic Game grows
Past challenging starts and unknown competitions
Stretching out in determined and new directions
Of effort, glowing pride and strength
I want to go where the Olympic Games grow.
I want to go where the Olympic Spirit flows
Past rivers, deepening forests and ocean straits
Moving in undulating invisible currents
Of joy, community spirit and renewal
I want to go where Olympic Spirits flow. |
