Aspiration

A young man
17 years old
Popular in school
A friend to all
Broad-shouldered
Strong as an ox
Olympic torch bearer
Cross country runner
Dance competition winner
State champion wrestler
Completely selfless
Always helping others who are
Less fortunate
Rarely discouraged
Always smiling and laughing
Positive about life

Why does this seemingly average boy
stand above the rest?
Why do I admire him so?

Because he has done all this
And carries on
Living life to its fullest
And never asks
"Why me?"
'Tho he has had
No legs Since age six

If only we could all be more like Kacey.A young man
