The beauty of Caitlin’s performance will live on! Thank you for giving us words that describe the impact of her athleticism on Iowans and all little girls everywhere!

And the young girls watching think

I can fly too. I can be you.

I can be unstoppable,

I can be unguardable,

I can be fearless.

As always, I’m uplifted by this gift of your poetry. Every word was beautiful. Here’s to all those young girls watching with hopes they, too, are inspired. Thank. You.

So moving! I will keep this for re-reading. Especially liked the truth of your poem, hours of work, and “leaping prism of light”.
