We Are In Common Wealth
Posted: February 14, 2010
A truth the Olympic torch illuminates…
The flame on that Olympic wick
is more than fire on a stick.
It is an element of earth
as old as time itself.
That blazing torch passed man to man
recalls a truth since life began.
What warms the world and lights the night
is shared by everyone.
That bluish sphere that spins in space
defines us as a human race.
We are related. We are kin...
a global family.
All nations (every tribe and tongue)
have equal worth. The world is one.
These Winter Games remind us all...
We are a common wealth!
