Teamwork
On Father’s Day we compete in the 5 mile road race I feel the sun and breeze on my face My team’s fast feet set the pace To be a contender for this exciting race
Training with Ryan and Paul after school I think that’s cool Meet at the flagpole at quarter of ten That’s where we’ll be, see you then Remember your hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen Meet at the flagpole in the middle of the green
We head to the start and get ready to go My team knows I hate to go slow Mr. Mac, Michelle, and Kath They push me fast and clear the path
My dad watches us from the Shoreline Market He gets his coffee and newspaper and there he will park it When I come around the curve he shouts, Go CHIZ I know right away who that voice is!
Billy says excuse us, jogger with wheels coming through Jeanne and Billy are fast as the wind, this is true Finally we break free of the large running crowd People cheering near the water are excited and loud I can smell the sea, the tide is low Someone else shouts, Go Brian Go!
As we approach the finish line Someone shouted out my name and our time The spectators, runners and all will agree Teamwork is more than something you can see!
This poem was an English assignment at Branford High School, where Brian attends daily. Using an auditory word processing program on the computer, Brian selects his topic and word or phrase choices by activating a switch with his chin.
Brian chose to dedicate this poem to his running friends and his good friends of “Race Productions,” who support him and the Myelin Project.
