Simon Biles
Neither gold nor silver nor bronze medal
Of Olympics shall outclass the power of Simon Biles
You’re already the greatest and brightest gymnast in the world
Than on the gymnasium floor of Olympic Stadium
When a minor injury derailed your career
And tiny tweaks destroy your hard work
Remember the time you were child and persevered to be what you are today
Neither injury nor hit shall turn you to dust
You are the light of this world
Against racial discrimination and poverty
You shall fight to bring justice
Praise be to you
As you push hard to recover, your praise will find a room in my heart
And in the hearts of millions of Americans
Who are cheering for you from their home behind televisions
That your stellar record will last for generations to come
So, till the judgement day that you arise
You’re immortal in my eyes and dwell in the eyes of spectators
