A Gigantic Leap Forward

Nothing could be more apparent;
We face the likelihood
Of near fatal, impending doom,
In a sporting world replete
With favors and disappointments.
Then kindly and assuredly -
With a heavenly fortune known
Before us by the many, and the few - 
We happen upon a solution
Of a famed and noteworthy variety;
And by working this move,
We transform a trying time
Into an extremely worthwhile
And positive legacy...
We will now enjoy a memorable
And sensational journey,
Wrapped up in the promise
Of this glowing gift,
This glorious and timely answer...
