Special Olympics
I participated in an event,
it's called Special Olympics.
I spend several hours
taking care of this boy, Devin,
who had a form of autism.
I helped him run,
I helped him jump,
I helped him throw,
I helped him be an athlete
for a day.
I had fun,
I enjoyed it,
even though it was taxing.
It was worth it, however,
to see the smiles on his face,
and watch him having fun
being the athlete he was
never able to be.
