The Ice Skater


A young woman

Standing in the middle of the ice rink

The stadium is filled

With people cheering her on

The Moonlight Sonata

Begins and she is center stage

She tries to relax her nerves

As she begins to skate her heart out

Around the rink she goes

Preparing for a series of jumps

And she makes it look so easy

Triple Lutz and Double Toe Loop

There is a smile on her face as continues

She spins and twirls

And then as if by magic the whole place

Becomes quite as takes her final jumps

Then there is great applause.
