Like All Other Olympics Poem by Francis Duggan

Like All Other Olympics



Like all other Olympics of the bygone years
In the Olympics in Rio the joy and the tears
For those who do not win Olympic medals the disappointment is great
And as always the winners are those who celebrate
The medalists go home as heroes and heroines to their homeland
And the disappointment of the losers not hard to understand
The Olympic Games mirrors human life in every way
There are winners and losers in the World every day
On those not going home with medals it has to be tough
Despite their years of hard training they were not good enough
Though winning is what the majority of people would choose
For one for to win others do have to lose
Suppose this is how it is and it always will be
At least anyway this is how it seems to me.
