(David Roth)
The athletes had come from all over the
country
To run for the gold, for the silver and bronze
Many the weeks and the months of
their training
And all coming down to these games
The spectators gathered around the
old field
For cheering on all the young women and men
The final event of the day was
approaching
Excitement grew high to begin
The blocks were all lined up for those who
would use them
The hundred yard dash was the race to be run
There were nine resolved
athletes in back of the starting line
Poised for the sound of the gun
The signal was
given, the pistol exploded
And so did the runners all charging ahead
But the smallest
among them, he stumbled and staggered
And fell to the asphalt instead
He gave out a
cry in frustration and anguish
His dreams and his efforts all dashed in the dirt
But as
sure as I'm standing here telling this story
The same goes for what next
occurred
The eight other runners pulled up on their heels
The ones who had trained
for so long to compete
One by one they all turned round and went back to help him
And
brought the young boy to his feet
Then all the nine athletes joined hands and
continued
The hundred yard dash now reduced to a walk
And the banner above that said
"Special Olympics"
Could not have been more on the mark
That's how the race ended,
with nine gold medals
For they came to the finish line holding hands still
And the
standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will
That's
how the race ended, with nine gold medals
For they came to the finish line holding hands
still
And the banner above that said "Special Olympics"
Said more than these words ever
will
