A World of Neglect

P&G | Special Olympics: What I See



Mothers always say it best and my mom said, "I share this in honor of our Special Olympics athlete daughter, Jennifer Hoover. This video clip reminds me so much of her life journeys! Jennifer is now a beautiful young woman of 34 - gainfully employed, swims lots, & loves to write poetry & enjoys her Special Olympics friends!! There are no limits to what she can do - same goes for all Special Olympics athletes".


I see someone
That can do anything
Or, be anyone

I see what they can do (inside)
Not their disability (outside)

I see someone
That can have their own life
But it takes much more time for some than others
Maybe all their lives
To find out what they want

I see someone
That can be on their own
With help they can
With more time

I see someone
That is special
In their own way
And will not stop for anything
