He has become a great source of inspiration
For many in the developing world
He has shown that it is possible
To get to the top of one's game
...
They say tall people can not run short distances
But look at this gangly man
Who stands like a colossus
Dwarfing all before him
...
You are a star high in the sky
No one can catch you
The best they can do
Is to gaze in disbelief - mesmerized
...
He is the Jamaican
Who is a phenomena
Let all be wowed
And all be proud
...
Everyone can dream
It is only natural to have dreams
But some dreams remain just that
Dreams
...
Kindred Spirit
He has become a great source of inspiration
For many in the developing world
He has shown that it is possible
To get to the top of one's game
No matter where one comes from
He did not move to a more prosperous country
To pursue his career as is the norm
But remained put in his country
Training with basic equipment and a rudimentary track
He is admired and loved
By many brothers and sisters in the developing world
For they can identify with him
His upbringing, his life story
Makes that connection with many of them
He has become the embodiment of their dreams
He makes them proud
His success is their success
For they feel he is kindred spirit
