Tour de France A Texan is riding on wheels of a dream That skim over asphalt and small mountain stream The sure and the steady, the force from within Rides into the tunnel and into the wind It’s mind over muscle and strength over thrill That spins silver spokes over crest of a hill Disease is forgotten, the illness is dead But the will to defeat it still spins in his head He is master of miles, a blur to the eye A bullet that’s launched from the will to defy The position of others, the measure they lack Hits nerves in his spine and the skin on his back No need for the eyes to now venture behind For completing the mission’s consuming the mind As the rock of Gibraltar stands firm in it’s place So the look of conviction's engraved on his face The course of resistance is etched under scalps That brazenly challenge the might of the Alps Only one will be titled the winner by name Only one is bestowed cyclers' honor of fame Just one streak of lightening will flash on that day A yellow shirt piercing the Champs Elysees Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (07-23-2002 02:20 PM).] |

He IS an inspiration to us all...so is Toe, but he won't be back for awhile to see this, so I don't have to worry about him getting a swollen ego.... |
