Declan C. : Two Wrong Feet

I was born with two wrong feet.
Braces, casts, surgeries, pain,
learning how to walk again and again.
For years, I watched kids my age play
soccer and wanted to be with them
but couldn’t.
Finally I got my chance.
Pride, joy, honor, knowing I am strong
enough to be on the field.
I may never be the best, but I get to play.
And that’s enough.
