….thank you Ronovan for this week’s words, inspire and loss
This week’s prompts immediately brought to mind Noah Galloway, an Iraq war veteran who was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. Despite being a double amputee he persevered week after week and went all the way to the finals and placed third. The words ‘inspiration and loss’ came up every week after he performed.
Dancing With the Stars
The loss of one arm
and dancing with one leg
Inspired us to vote
************
Bravely baring all
His spirit to dance inspires
His loss, matters not
