Rafael Nadal: Edificing the Glory...

The sun rose on you, eight years ago...

Heralding the future, the change and the revolution...

You of a spirit and heart, unrivalled and unequalled

None even coming closer to your fiefdom...

Setbacks shrugged aside,

Paving the way for stronger comebacks...

Even in darkness of your absence

Belief in you unquestionable

In the glittering array of magnificence

As you march forwards,

Triumph after triumph, glory after glory

We bow down in utter veneration...

Not God, you are not

Yet respect over-flows

Staked a claim over our hearts, you have...

Never to be rescinded, never to be revoked
For the Mallorcan,
For the undisputed Parisian...
The man who conquered the eighth octave...
