People Just Don'T Know

You lose both your arms
You want to play some sports
People suggest soccer
Little do they know
That we need arms 
To balance ourselves
So you suggest table tennis
And people think
That you are crazy
But for a man with no arms
Table tennis 
Is easier than soccer
People just don't know.

Dedicated to Ibrahim Hamadtou: Paralympic table tennis player.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
