Thank you, athletes 
of the 2015 Special Olympic World Games
for inspiring us all

I, too, am
seen as an obstacle
in our bureaucratic courses;

But I am not a hurdle
to run over or avoid.

Told I can't,
I show that I can
each time I step
over lines and labels,
defying easy filing.

My challenge
becomes our challenge;

My triumph
is mine and yours
in the spirit of human ability.
