First Time Skating

Tripping and falling down but I keep getting back up

I can see my dad on the other side of the rink

Boom, boom my knees hit the ice

My knees feeling like they were broken from hitting the ice so much

The touch of the ice so cold, so hard

Face planted, the taste of icy slush in my mouth, disgusting

Already smelling the nachos I am going to get after I get off the ice

I can almost hear the nachos calling me

My dad and my yells you can do it, you can do it

My grandma cheering me on from the stands

This motivates me even more to get to the other side

Anxious to make them proud

Skating stride after stride

Almost there I can feel my dad’s hands

Just like that I’m there in my dad’s arms

Both of us full of joy

My grandma so happy for me

Thinking to myself I did it, I did it

Now the next step is learning to play hockey my dad said jokingly
