It has been anticipated.
They paraded in, proud to have a standing ovation.
They scattered, taking all that energy and excitement
that they have been building up for months.
They competed, won, and cheered their peers on.
They received medals and were all smiles no matter the color.
I looked on with camera in hand and admired a fine group of
boys, girls, men, and women.
Each day I see them strive to be and do their very best.
Today I witnessed happiness.
Happiness just for being cheered on, to stand on the boxes
and receive a medal.
Today I realized they are in turn teaching me the values of life.
"Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."

The excitement clearly there.
Training, sweat, and hard work.
They paraded in, proud to have a standing ovation.
All we needed was the torch to be lit and these words:
"Let the games begin!"
"Let the games begin!"
They scattered, taking all that energy and excitement
that they have been building up for months.
They competed, won, and cheered their peers on.
They received medals and were all smiles no matter the color.
I looked on with camera in hand and admired a fine group of
