From, your lips, to GODS--EARS
That is what, an older, gentleman, that i was talking to, --said- to -me,- today, -at -the -GYM------from words to him that i complimentary, said, ---HE--said to me--FOR---GODS -ears-- to --hopefully --HEAR
The older gentleman, i see him, very often at the--GYM
He is always, in the water, doing - his best, lap after lap, every day on his morning --SWIM-
So, this gentleman, i have -talked- with him a time or two, -BEFORE
he swims, using only one arm, because, he has a dissability, with the other arm, and cant move it foward, or up or down any--MORE
So , in the past, after, i watched, this -older-- gentleman--, swimming--ALONG
he so greatly, inspired me, how, with only one--good-- arm,-- in use, -he --didnt- give -up, --didnt- give -in, ---the -CHAMPION--in -him, -wanted -to -WIN-- as -he just -lap -after -lap,- at -his -own -consistant-, pace -kept --SWIMMING--and --SWIMMING--to -the--beat-- of -his -own,- drum -and---SONG
I told the older gentleman, the first time that- i met -HIM
that he motivated me, as i was watching, him minute by minute, lap after lap, using only --ONE---ARM--as -he -continuously -did ---COURAGEOUSLY--SWIM-and-- SWIM
I asked, him, what happened to the other --ARM
he said that years ago, he broke his shoulder, and his range of motion, with that shoulder was, impaired and --HARMED
So he said, he never let, that injury, or alinement--, stop or-- even slow him --DOWN
this older gentleman, is such of a -CHAMPION--one -ot -the - strongest--men,- i -have -ever -known, -or -FOUND
So today, after his -SWIM
I said to him, good hustle, and i said sir, you really, really, motivate -me--i-said -to him, how old are you sir, he replied, strongly, im seventy-eight, i told him, well, i can see that your getting stronger and stronger every day, and i said, i think that- your -getting -younger -and -younger- too--as -a -compliment -to -HIM
He -said -to -me,- with -a -big, -broad,- confident,- strong --SMILE
FROM--YOUR--LIPS--TO--GODS--EARS----this--older gentleman-- motivates -me, -inspires -me,- how -he -has -the -GUTS--the --GRIT--strength --stamina, --and --endurance --to --conquer--, compete-- and --overcome --any --and --all --odds, --and --continue --his --MISsION--to --WIN-- SWIM--and--SWIM--everyday, with only one- good --arm---MILE--AFTER--MILE--always with a big, loving, generous happy, smile, that stays with-- you -for -your--- life,--- for -a-very--long--long--WHILE
