Ode to the Balance Beam Some days are good, some days are bad Well of course, you’re flipping on four inches Hoping the next move you won't miss your hands Or feet, or for even that matter your whole body Once you land on the mat after a fall Tears want to seep in but no crying allowed Get back up and go again Fear is the balance beam’s best weapon It fools with your mind After one fall You can't forget about it Even the easiest skills feel so scary But you still have to go again Gymnastics isn't all about flipping and sticking It’s a mind game A real tough one And balance beam is the king of it When you land a series though You get this sensation of relief It is as if you have won those games It is what brings you back for more and more http://vocaroo.com/i/s1wNzjvAstXv
Family holds me together When one is down we are all down When hard times strike We are here to support one another I know I always have someone to talk to A person to love me A person to be my best friend And a person to bicker with Even when we bicker and fight We are all here together forever And we can't change that So we need to realize the times when we are down And the times when we bring each other up And the times when there is a person to talk to, and a person to love Family is in it all together Through the good and bad times and nothing can change that So why not keep it that way? http://vocaroo.com/i/s1TEWBfKyPWS
