STANFORD, Calif. - Test your knowledge of the Stanford women's gymnastics team by guessing who wrote the following poem:
I am compassionate and adventurous.
I wonder why anyone would want me to be anything different.
I hear the powerful silence of crashing waves, sounds like home, but
I see myself creating another home -- Here
I want to be a part of something bigger, for
I am compassionate and adventurous.
I pretend I always have to be strong but
I feel confident when
I am touched by the spirit of the Lord.
I worry about those who are lost and powerless.
I cry for loved ones I wish were here with me, who already know that
I am compassionate and adventurous. Yet
I understand that my family is only growing and
I say that there is no limit to love.
I dream about designs for the future.
I try exploring the world, the oceans, mountains of endless possibilities.
I hope you realize
I am compassionate and adventurous.
The author of this poem will be revealed Monday.
