London 2012
London 2012 was a big treat.
People all over the world would come and compete.
We watched Katie Taylor make Ireland so proud.
Ireland broke the record for being so loud.
Gymnastics, swimming, running and jumping.
Every one of their hearts were racing and pumping.
Paralympics, so much they have achieved.
Even the ones with severe special needs.
We watched Jason Smith run for gold.
As he crossed the finish line the crowd screamed and roared.
The 12th of August started to come closer.
And the people started to tear down the posters.
The closing ceremony where the Spice Girls would reunite.
For one special day and one special night.
As Ireland started to walk out the door.
The next four years would have much in store.

The Olympics
Push, pull, leap, throw
Jump, dive, swim, row
Clearing a hurdle, winning a heat.
Medals, flags, ribbons and clocks.
Best times, record times and winners blocks.
Crowds cheering, sweat and tears
Determination and dedication over many years.
The best thing about the Olympics for me.
Is showing the world the best you can be.
Sharing the victory, sharing the pain.
It will be four years before you can try again.
Going for gold and playing the game
Keep the pride and the spirit of the Olympic flame.
