Choral Reading: The Marathon of Hope
A rhythmic group poem for 4 reading parts.
 Each stanza represents a different stage of Terry’s journey.


PART 1
He laced one shoe, the other was gone,
A leg replaced, but hope lived on.
He ran for those who couldn’t try,
With every step, he reached the sky.

PART 2
From east to west, the road was long,
But Terry’s heart beat brave and strong.
He faced the pain, the wind, the rain,
Yet never once did he complain.

PART 3
A nation watched, inspired and moved,
His courage clear, his mission proved.
He didn’t run for fame or gold,
But for a cure, a dream he’d hold.

PART 4
Though illness stopped his final mile,
His story runs through every child.
We walk, we run, we carry on—
The Marathon of Hope lives on.
