The Gymnast
by Bernard Howe

Training to become a gymnast
takes strength and dedication.
Doing all your requirements
along with some innovation.

Building up your body
and toughing up the mind.
One won't work alone
they must be entwined.

The mind has to be rock solid
and not filled with any doubts.
So you will be in top form
during the Olympic tryouts.

Stamina and endurance
along with many skills.
Perfection is the goal
while providing lots of thrills.

Floor routines and rings
along with parallel bars.
The strength that's required
is well beyond what's ours.

For all of this hard work
and years of dedication.
Besides a lot of pride
maybe a standing ovation.
Bernard Howe
