Heart of a Lion
Heart of a Lion,
Courageous with no fear
Of falling or failing,
Never to disappear.
Eye of a tiger,
Keen and quick,
Reading its opponents,
Through thin and through thick.
Grace of a dolphin,
Moving with ease,
Winning the crowd’s eye,
Oh so very pleased.
Speed of a cheetah,
Never slowing down,
Always training,
Without a frown.
Strength of a giant,
Powerful to no end,
Showing it off,
And using it to bend.
Heart, eye, grace, speed, and strength,
A situation hit or miss.
Dedicated, driven, proud, and sure,
This is what an athlete is
This is the first poem in the collection.
