Born premature, so small, every breath was a struggle. Walking took longer, cerebral palsy the doctors had explained.
As she grew, school was sometimes made hard by staring eyes blind to what was inside. In sport, she always tried but never won other than the hearts of many.
As an adult, she turned to writing. Success followed success.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment.
