I See Her

I see her run.

I see her swim.

I see her defy gravity.

I see her courage when she says no.

I see her reach for those golden stars.

I see a world that was unkind and unjust

To these heroes of today.

I see them push through anyway.

I see her eyes filled with ambition,

Her heart filled with determination,

As she brings pride to her nation.

I see a better future,

A spark growing into a fierce fire

Each time she inspires.

I see in her a spirit shared

By her sisters who compete by her side

And by those who are yet to follow in her strides.

I see her.

And maybe I will someday be her
