Winners Are Grinners

Elation in victory and sadness in defeat Where the best in the World for glory compete At the Olympic Games where legends are made True greatness from memory never seems to fade When the Champion Olympians to the forever long gone Their sporting achievements in history destined to live on Like in all things of life the Olympic winners are grinners and can celebrate But for those who lose out on a medal the disappointment is great For them there won't be a homecoming parade Even where the best compete only few make the grade To win an Olympic medal the dream of many a young girl and boy But at the London Olympics there is sadness and joy In sports as in life for one to win others have to lose it is this way And winners are grinners as some like to say.
