• She was in the lead and she was under the water

    They heard the crowd screaming her name

    They were always looking into her to see if she could swim the 600

    All she was thinking of was the prize of felling the joy and belief from her team

    She could feel the competition closing in on her and she went as fast as ever

    And in thinking that all she had to do was touch the touch pad

    She felt more pressure on her then ever before

    And then she felt it

    It was the winning alarm and she quickly looked up out of breathe

    She looked up to find her teams name next to her name on the score board

    Her coach congratulated her almost forgeting that Charlene was

    Deaf.
