Poem Sage Burgener 6 May 2005 I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING I WONDER IF I COULD BE THE STRONGEST GIRL IN THE WORLD! I HEAR THE WEIGHTS BANGING AGAINST MY DOOR TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING SPECIAL. I SEE THE WEIGHT DRIFTING IN THE AIR HELPING ME LIFT THE MOST IMPORTANT LIFT EVER. I WANT TO GO TO EVERY MEET I CAN. I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!! I PRETEND THAT I CAN LIFT A THOUSAND POUNDS OF GOLD SPARKLING AS BRIGHT AS MY SMILE. I FEEL THE WEIGHT SHAKING MY HAND WHEN I MAKE AN IMPORTANT LIFT. I TOUCH THE RUBBERY PLATES AND WHEN I DO, THE PLATES TURN TO GOLD AND SILVER. I WORRY THAT I MIGHT STOP WEIGHTLIFTING AND RUIN MY DREAM. I CRY WHEN I MISS A LIFT THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME, BUT VOW TO LIFT IT NEXT TIME. I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT I MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST IN EVERY COMPETITION. I SAY THAT I WILL TRY MY HARDEST AND NEVER GIVE UP!!! I DREAM THAT I WILL BE A HERO FOR SOMEBODY WHEN I AM OLD. I TRY TO THINK GOOD THOUGHTS WHEN I HAVE A LIFT TO MAKE. I HOPE THAT I CAN CONTINUE THIS WONDERFUL SPORT ALL MY LIFE. I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!!   Comments Add Comment » mike burgener (dad) 2005-05-28 Sage wrote this when she was 10 yrs old. i keep it posted in my office at work. quite a perceptive young lady!!! Steve Seapker 2005-07-22 You sure as hell are! Delaney Toth 2005-10-01 I just wanted to thank both Coach and Sage for all the encouragement they gave me at RBVHS the weekend of the Ramona CrossFit seminar. I was the 7yr old that was invited by Greg Glassman. I absolutely love CrossFit and am so happy that I was given the chance to practice Olympic lifts with the best. Sage wrote in her poem that she hopes to be somebody's hero when she is old. Well, she's older that me and I consider her my hero...if that counts. I keep asking my mom and dad, "When can I work out at coaches house." I sure hope it is soon. Thank you both again, I had a great day. Carla McDonald 2006-11-15 Yehhhhhhhh Sage again! That's right...a strong girl who loves weightlifting...Get some. Jeaniae Lawton 2011-11-17 I just went to Olympic Lifting Certification this past weekend. This is a very insipirational poem and that fact that Sage was only ten when she wrote it says phenomenal things about her!
