Stepped On A Stick

For the Javelin Champion, Neeraj Chopra...

Stepped On A Stick

I stepped on a stick,

Held it, threw it quick,

Did that and that for years,

I reached in everyone's ears.

I the Javelin throw champion,

Was once poor and sad,

But I focused, made history and,

My Nation became glad!

Fun unaccepted,

Unexpected,

Standing, winning in Tokyo Olympics,

Opponent's ear picks.

I became the first person to win a medal at Javelin,

I became a warrior battlin,

I am NEERAJ CHOPRA...

What a powerful story! You are really honoring all of these important people with your poems, it is so kind of you! You are doing a wonderful job writing everything and especially this poem, Neeraj sounds like a great athlete, good thing he never gave up, this ends up as a moral lesson to us too not to give up! Nicely written!

Yes, he worked so hard and made our nation proud. He was in a poor family, got a ellbow injury and got a massive surgery.

Yet, he kept going and won the gold medal 2020 Tokyo Olymics in Javelin.
