I WATCH YOU ON THE PODIUM AND MY MIND GOES TO ANOTHER TIME AND ANOTHER YOUNG MAN WITH DREAMS IN HIS HEART. HE WAS A CHAMPION BUT IN HIS MIND HE LOST THE FIGHT. HE LEARNED AT A VERY EARLY AGE TO SELF MEDICATE TO EASE THE PAINS OF HIS YOUNG LIFE. THE DRUGS AND THE BOOZE STOLE HIS DREAMS AND THE CHAMPION WITHIN LEFT HIM. I WATCH YOU ON THE PODIUM AND TEARS RUN DOWN MY CHEEK KNOWING IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIM. Susan Bergron March, 2010 Vancouver olympics

I agree with Elisabeth. This is a sad and delicate writing, and it is filled with heart and regard for this person. I have seen this air of existence before--at least, a few times; it is never a good thing to watch possibilities become dried wells because of substance abuse.

Brings to mind that old saying..."There but by the grace of God, go I." Nice write. Cheers, Dan

Very sad, yet a beautiful poem with important lessons told.
