NO QUESTIONS PLEASE

It’s right there
A Michael Phelps stroke away
Strongly beckoning
For you
Unnamed warrior, champion in the making
Just do it, get it
Triumph and glory
For achievement, whether on the big stage or not
Warrants celebration
Tension release
Warmth of the heart
So go, go
It’s right there
A Usain Bolt dash away
Strongly beckoning
For you
So long a defeated and cheerless soul
Because of the struggles of life
Because of pain and little gain
But right now it’s there
Just do it, get it
Triumph and glory
No matter the setting, no matter the stage
No matter that it’s just you and your own chase for perfection
Because nobody needs to be around for you to achieve for yourself
So go out and run
Go hit the park and shoot jumpers
Pump that iron
Swim some laps
Hike, bike
Golf, smash a tennis ball
Just remember that glory is not solely based on money earned or medals won
Because you can be a champion in your own mind
And who’s to say you’re not?
