The Skier

The skier glides
A judge decides
A lower score
His body is sore 

The athlete falls
But doesn't bawl
The skater spins
A card gamer wins 

The skiers costly error
Disappointment is the wearer
Moving on to the next event
Down the slopes The skier went
The triumph of winning
The athlete's mind is spinning
The joy achieved
The goal believed
