He’ll never be in the
HALL OF FAME
but
Rocky Bleier
who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers
when they won their first four
Super Bowls
knows how to make
W A V E S
that never end. . .
After playing football at Notre Dame
Rocky served his country
by serving in the Vietnam War
and was nearly mortally wounded
when he stepped on a landmine
that nearly crippled him for life. . .
but this Rock didn’t disintegrate
he learned to
crawl
hobble
walk
r u n
but his greatest
r a c e
came after the
cleats here hung up
the crowds ceased to cheer for him
the football was no longer carried. . .
his truest life work
began;
his ripple
started;
his w a v e
commenced;
h i s T S U N A M I
never e n d i n g. . .
his tragic wounds
his determination
his story
has become motivational
for many. . .
most very recently
a friend of a friend;
When Rocky was made aware
that a horrible car accident made an innocent man
a quadriplegic. . .
a former quarterback from Marshall University
who is now trying to make the best of it
going through his
“t w o – d a y s”
of therapy
has a very good friend
who contacted
Rocky Bleier’s personal assistant
and Rocky
r i p p l e d
This ROCK
caused a WAVE:
(Sorry to hear about the accident. Things happen that we cannot control–what is important is knowing what we can control–Attitude is one of those things. It’s a long road–you know that–so never give up—-With the support system you have–all things are possible—Rocky Belier)
I know. . .
I know. . .
that’s what
sports stars
celebrities
well knowns can do. . .
they can cause ripples
that become waves. . .
but so can
C A R I N G C A T A L Y S T S
We don’t have to be a
w a v e. . .
we just have to be in the many
m a n y
d r o p l e t s
that makes up
The W A V E;
When our love
our compassion
our kindness
our empathy
our sympathy
our very selves
become more
V E R B S
than
n o u n s
we add strength to
The W A V E
not just to dive into
but actually become a part of—
to be endlessly
dripping wet
never-to-ever-be-dry-again-from. . .
it’s a rolling
unstoppable
completely wonderful
ongoing
W A V E. . .
L i v e d
and now shared
for an ever
that is forever
n o w

THAT CONTRIBUTES
TO THAT ENDLESS
W A V E
We are all a
R O C K
in our own ways
and the next big

awaits
