Little Girl

She gets out of the pool 
But her legs give out
Her friend come running to her rescue 
Her friend is smaller than her in body size

Mommy sees the fall too and comes to help
But her friend has already helped her up
I can see the little girl's legs are weak
I can see the large scars on her legs
She has had surgeries, am sure
She walks with a limp

Little girl has the prettiest smile even with the fall
She is wearing water goggles 
She has a pretty custome like all other girls
She is now climbing the many stairs to the slide
Her friend right behind her to help

This little girl is a fighter
She is a champion to so many other little girls
She won't give up
She will live her life to the fullest even with disability
