Olympian

I've been inspired by the Olympics this year more than I have in years, since I was a young gymnast watching Mary Lou Retton. I've watched bits and pieces of gymnastics and diving over the years, but this year has been different. I've been watching into the evening every day since it started. I have to peel myself away to get to bed at night. Tonight, a brief poem in honor of these amazing athletes.
