By Nell O’Hara
Rub together my hands,
Take a deep breath,
Watching me are all my friends,
Flash a smile.
Up goes my wrist,
Gently toss it down,
It plows through the mist,
It is almost there.
Jerk! A gentle swish,
It starts to climb its way up the string,
Catch! I did not miss,
In my palm… Flawless.
Clapping in the background,
I carefully take a bow,
I did it! I did it!
But it’s all over now.
