Ice Skating

Ice Skating!

 

Catching the early train this morning
Excitement running through my veins
Ice hockey boots over my shoulder
Running through the back streets of town
Rain pouring, hair soaking
Ice cold sleet, rain, like needles in my face.

Queuing for entry
Eager to get in
Tickets in one hand
Backpack in the other
The ice is hard just waiting for us
Glistening under spot lights

Teenage love
Always special
A time to remember
A time of fun
A time of growing
A time of love and pain
A time of making memories

Feet making figures of eight on the ice
Faster and faster
Hair whipping around my face
Speed skating, ice flying
Laughter and joy showing in my face

No thought of falling
As figures fly across the ice
A picture to hold onto for future
the memories in my head.
