Competition Poem
The time has come once again to show what we can do
To work together as a team, not just one or two
Together we can do anything our hearts desire
You know we have done it even though we are tired
So lets look to one another for comfort and cheer
Lets lean on each other as we cry our tears
Because together we have a goal that we have all set
And that is to be the best team the judges have seen yet
So lets get out on the floor as a winning team
Lets do what we do best, and make that crowd scream
Because together we can do it,
Together we can
Together we can be the best team in the land.
The Competitors Creed
The contests last for hours, though training lasts for years
It wasn't the winning alone, that was worth the work and tears
The applause will be forgotten, the trophy masiplaced
But the long hard hours of practice, will never be a waste
For in trying to win you build a skill;
You learn that winning depends on will
You never grow by how much you win
You only grow by how much you put in
So in any new challenge you just begun,
Put forth your best and you've already won!
Moments
If I had to live my life over,
I would try to make more mistakes next time
I would relax, I would lighten up
I would be sillier than I've ever been
I would take more things less seriously
I would be crazier
I would take more chances
I would take more trips
I would climb more mountains,
swim more rivers,
and watch more sunsets
I would have more real problems
And very few imaginary ones
I have had my moments
And if I had to do it over again,
I'd have more of them
In fact, I'd have nothing else
Just moments, one after another
Instead of living so many years ahead of each day
I would go places and do things
And travel lighter than before
I would stand barefoot earlier in spring,
and stay that way later in the fall
I would pick more daisies
I would ride on more merry-do-rounds
I would gather more clowns in my life
I would hug more people and hold more hands
I would meet you sooner and know you longer
