Olympic Games

The understanding race
Much competition to face
The disappointing loss
Frustrations tou must toss 

The skaters dance
The underdogs chance
The pressure of perfection
The judge's selection 

The winner's adulation
Stands for a nation
The cheering crowd
Grows ever loud 

A skiers mistake
Acceptance one has to make
The pair skates
The hand shakes
How beautiful they glide
How nervous inside
