She's Back
All you can say about this young lady
Is that she's back and performing better than ever
Just to see her competing in exhibitions is enough
To tell me that she has the tools it takes to be a gymnast
Her name's Kim Zmeskal better known as "Kimbo"!
She would have been a member of the 1996 U.S. Women's Team
But she suffered a severe knee injury
When she tried to come back out of retirement
And had to be sidelined for a while but she's back.
She was a member of the 1992 team
That won a bronze medal at the Olympics
And became the third U.S. team in history to win a medal.
She had an awesome career in gymnastics
With’ six perfect tens and nine international titles
And if she's still able to compete in competitions
There's no telling how many more titles she will win.
I fell in love with her the very first time
I saw her compete in a competition on TV
When she leaped into my heart and has stayed
And she became my first and favorite sweetheart!
