Two years anniversary
Of the Boston Marathon Massacre
The bright eyed reporter
Was asking questions
Perfectly groomed, her hair, her cloths, her makeup,
The victim answered
But her eyes reflected the
Whole range of human emotions:
Joy for being a survivor;
Pride for turning her handicap into a way to help others;
Sadness for what her life could have been;
Pain for what she and others had been thru;
Sadness, immense sadness, and finally,
Forgiveness...
A great tribute to a very courageous person. I may be wrong, but I think she was a spectator at that time, and now she was a participant. I'm so glad that prosthetics are so good now that those that have lost limbs can participate in vigorous athletic activities without harm and with great skill.
