Olympia Poem by D Loveday Morris

Olympia
From the mountain of God a princess arrived
With a name desired to empower and inspire
She is called to be a beautiful delight
Her eyes open and lightening strikes
Tall and lean, sweet and keen
Loved by humans and favoured by beings supreme

She has success in her DNA
And a spirit of love, life and play
Those who approach her are warned to be wise
For she has the ability to devise a surprise
So don't be fooled by her innocence
She has significant power and influence

When she smiles everyone is charmed
And her coos will set off the fire alarm
A delay with diaper change
May make it to the front page
She beams with hope and promise
Surrounded by the love of the legend in office

And the day Olympia is of age
There is already a waiting stage
Many hope that the time will be soon
Others wait patiently for another legend to bloom
Whatever path she takes, her name is one we will never forget
And there is immense certainty that she is destined for greatness
