Always in Motion

                  for the Paralympians

And connection

with the greater.

The spirit.

That endows,

enflames 

every fiber 

of thought

and feeling.

That enlarges

every vision of

what’s possible.

That enables 

every body

to rise above

the unbelievable;

reach, stretch to 

the exceptional.

That endures

all tests, 

all questions;

every trial by fire.

That enriches

our lives and places

here on Earth;

touches

the hearts and minds

of our fellow men

and women --

and sometimes,

transcendent times,

moves mightily,

magnificently

within, to empower

and ennoble us

in the eyes of

the wider world.
