A Gymnasts Prayer

Dear Lord, I bring to You My humble gymnast prayer; As I snuggle into bed with my favorite gym bear. I thank You for my hands All covered in painful rips; My sore knees, calloused feet And the bruises on my hips. I thank You for my leos and my grips and my wraps. For blessing me with power strength and grace, For giving me the determination and resolve to do what it takes. To get up and shake it off when I've made a mistake Watch over me Dear Lord as I swing on the bars, Clear hips and giants that reach toward the stars. Stand beside me Lord as I wobble on the beam, Grant sticky feet and pointed toes for the entire team. Push me as I run toward the vault so Up and over with straight legs for that perfect stick Remind me to look Lord at the judges and smile Lift up my leaps and help me perform with style Thank you for my Parents that give their support So much love, time and money to my costly sport But tonight Lord hear my one last request, Thanks all of my coaches for that I feel so blessed. They teach me so much more than just routines and drills, But the courage and resilience needed to learn my new skills. Now as I fall to sleep and my dreams start to unfold, they're filled with visions of medals all bronze, silver and Gold!
