Helping Those Who Gave So Much
I entered college with dreams of opening my own gym
Dreams of making others healthy
Dreams of creating athletes
Dreams of changing lives for the better
Then I stumbled upon a video
It changed my perspective
It changed my life
It changed my dream
A gym owner found a legless veteran
He invited him for a workout
He got him healthy
He got him off heroine
My new mission is to open my own adaptive training gym
To provide a gym for those that can’t workout at a normal gym
To lessen and take away chronic pain
To get men and women off drugs
To give them a place to destress
To be a force against veteran suicide
To improve their lives
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
