In the years of traveling to many places with our daughter for her gymnastic meets, I often amaze with the level of love, fun, and dedication these young girls and ladies have for their chosen sport, gymnastics. One morning at meet during the 2007 seas

Spectators/Observers:

She turns, she twists, she dances, she jumps
Her smiling face shows her passion
Listening carefully - she wants to know when
The music begins on the floor - she dances

On the balance beam she prays for their team
Not falling off from that narrow beam
Four inches wide, they all jump so high
Don?t want to miss it so they really try.

On the uneven bars she?s anxious to start
But careful enough, not swing too far
Her mind focuses on those two bars
?Till both of her feet have landed on the floor.

The vault was adjusted not too high, too low
Gauging a distance how far she must go
Jump on the spring board, then to the vault
Flip in the air then she twist to the floor.

Gymnasts:

We?re disciplined, we love our passion
We sacrifice, we manage our time (alt. some of our play time)
Looking at us people ask why
Work out, work out, work out day and night.

So we invite for them to try
Doesn?t take much before they know why
Gymnastics time a passion of our life
Gymnastics time?s our love, our life.

We work all year till our season?s here
Pick up our gear, go to competition
Share lots of fun with our team, our friends
Traveling on planes good times never end.

Now we invite you give it a try
We?re sure you will know the reason why
Gymnastics time, passion of our life
Gymnastics time, our love, our life.
