What I Love
When you're heart's pounding
And you just want to stop
Go back home
Sit in your room and rot
When you feel it's
not there
Not even way down deep
And you just want to
Call it quits and weep
You've got to remember
It's what you love
Going hard
And flying
high above
Think of all those hours
Spent in the gym
Working hard all for
That one big win
When you're about to freeze
Before doing something
new
Hear this in your head,
"It's what I love, it's what I do"
Gymnastics Prayer
When you're feeling down because your body hurts
When your hands are torn and your muscles ache
When the
beam's so high and you feel you'll fall
When you feel you can't and want to stop it all
When the spring floor feels like concrete
When
you feel you're spent and can't compete
And the bars, they seem so wide apart
And vaulting now is not in your heart
When all of this
makes you feel like the pits
It's time to relax and think a bit
Of the hours and hours of hard work put in
It's time to collect the dividend
You
know why you're here, what it's all about
You know there's no time at all for self-doubt
So get up, with both your body and your mind
And
keep it going because you're going to find...
YOU CAN...you can do it with a little more grit
Get up, breathe deep - and GO FOR IT!!
