For A Gymnastics Coach MAG
I work hard,
Yearning for improvement.
The sweat pours delicately down my face,
My shoulders ache,
But still I launch myself into another beam routine.
I practice and train my body,
To its limit.
I run hard putting all my effort into my tumbling body.
I overcome my fears,
And set them out of my mind.
I streak down the runway, pop off the vault, and absorb
the landing.
"Keep going, no stops,"
I tell myself as I skip up the bar and proceed to do
my best.
My long hours that I choose to work,
People consider me crazy but I don't.
All this work,
This incredibly hard work,
Is done for one thing,
To make my coach proud.
I know it's all worth it when I experience the way I
feel after a few simple words are spoken by my coach.
When the words that drift from his mouth are,
"I'm so proud of you,"
I become proud of me too and know my hard work is
worth it.
