A beautiful fighter
She is a beautiful child

The country’s beloved
Golden girl she is
One Gézelle Magerman
Winning the 400m hurdles
At china’s youth Olympics

A beautiful fighter
Goes the page 3 headline
Resplendent with her picture
Adorned with SA’s flag
(her school is proud of her)

She is a beautiful child
Her school principal says
(grade 11 out paarl-way)
She just fits right in
And remains humble

A beautiful fighter
She is a beautiful child
Hurdling her way to glory
(perhaps her parents
Meant to name her Gazelle)

A beautiful fighter
She is a beautiful child
Absolutely no machismo
Intended or otherwise
(in our women’s month)

Without sponsors she was
(no cries of anarchy and treason)
Might one expect politicians
To grandstand as is their wont
Soon after the cold fact

A beautiful fighter
She is a beautiful child
