SPECIAL OLYMPICS 1984

SPORTS CAN TRANSCEND HUMAN PROBLEMS,
AND CERTAINLY THEY CAN BE TAUGHT.
THEY MAY BE DISABLED ATHLETES,
BUT THEY GIVE IT ALL THEY GOT.
MANY YEARS AGO AT UBC,
THE HANDICAPPED OLYMPICS TOOK PLACE.
THE COMPETITION WAS FIERCE FOR SURE,
WITH WINNING WANTED BY EACH ACE.
I MARVELLED AT THEIR SPEED AND SKILL,
IT WAS ON TRACK , IN SPECTACULAR DISPLAY.
THE ESPRIT DU CORPS WAS CELESTIAL,
THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS HIGHLIGHTED THE DAY.
