Pass It On : Sports Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


  

 

The rain pelted down and the relay race began ,

Around the track the first three runners ran .

USA were well in front with one change to go .

The gold medal was in sight , then , oh no.

The baton was passed and slipped from the runners hand ,

To the ground it fell as if in quicksand .

The gold medals disappeared no more to be seen .

So this story had ended with a twist ,

The end of a dream and the gold medal was missed.
