Munich Olympics Story: The Only One
by Mika Slavin
It is so difficult sometimes to start the stories.
This is a special story of a man who was was lost…
It began with success and continued with the fulfillment
of all his abilities and wishes.
He was the firstborn
of parents who granted liberty.
By chance, he discovered the wonderful sport
which he promoted to a level never seen before,
One day, he came with a determined mind
to immigrate to Israel,
wishing to achieve another level of self-fulfillment.
To represent the Jewish people in the war of love
and the nation’s brotherhood,
and to show the whole world
that nothing would erase his memory!
Farewell the family, he left, in peace
and traveled to fulfill his dream.
So close was he to achieving this wish.
But how did it happen that fate did not wish so?
Death did fate send to torpedo the mission.
Suddenly, all was silent, dressed in black.
In one brief moment, the one, the man,, was... lost…
But the dream remained.
I was created, and here I am for you
to ulfill your dream.
This I swear, my dear brother,
that your dream is my dream.
With all my might,
I will sow your seed of love
to the whole world,
all the nations.
