The Pole Vaulter’s Prayer

As we approach the arena to prepare for the meet,

Help us to remember it’s Your glory we seek.

Please be with us as we thread our laces

Stretch our muscles and mark our paces.

We are a team so we will all share

The glory or defeat and always play fair.

Guide our feet to move smooth and swift

And when a teammate is down give them a lift.

As we look down the runway toward the vaulting pit

Remember as You teach we should never quit.

Help our eyes see the bar as we run with the pole

To plant well and jump to reach our goal.

Let our families be proud of our actions and play

And the fans cheer us on in a respectable way.

The lessons of pole vaulting are similar to life.

We prepare, adjust and conquer fear and strife.

When we are tired and run out of gas,

We are thankful for our coach’s guidance and class.

Help us to be good sports and show pride for our team,

And be grateful for helping us follow our dream.
