All the way from Panama to Beijing ,
Aranda wondered what would the games bring .
When the time would come he would give his best .
Hoping he would be better than the rest .
He stood there focused and breathing in deep .
With the thought of making a mighty leap .
He thought of the hard yards he'd done each day .
Now it was time , there was no more to say .
The green light went on and his heart went thump .
He took the run up to make the long jump .
With speed to propel him into the sand ,
His legs fully stretched , both feet came to land .
The huge jump had won him more than respect .
It won him gold by the athletic track .
