What About Me I see you marching by so proud and free If your heart and soul they could only see Some only notice how you’re different from us But you go quietly on, you make no fuss The years you've worked for that small gain Just like the rest you had sacrifice and pain Your time in the sun is here, finally it has come In Sydney Australia, the Paralympics have begun You represent your country and do us proud Always give your best, hoping there'll be a crowd Great distances you've come, from near and far Athletes one and all, yes you truly are a star! < !signature--> "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel.

So often overlooked as a non-event, these athletes should be recognized far more than they are now. Excellent poem and a fine tip o' the hat! Trev. |

EagleOne, As an able athlete I know what it is like to be cheered. You show here your heart's concern for the many Paralympians in Sydney. They shall compete in the spirit of the Games celebrating humanity and sport, and forgetting the adversities of the world. Great tribute. Well done Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Oh yes! *applauds loudly* This is fantastic!!!  With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

EagleOne~ This is just a wonderful piece...They all make us proud don't they, my only gripe is that we only get coverage of the games for 1 hour at night at about 11pm ((stinks))....thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |
