In figure skating

In figure skating its the small triumphs that matter the most.
When you can't get back all the time lost.

I had a lot of fun landing an axel.
To me it was almost felt like landing a triple axel.
I know it was only a small triumph but to me it was wonderful.

I never was able to get many hours of practice.
I did my best on the ice.
All figure skaters work hard to have patience.
They may never know if they will recieve their biggest
or smallest triumph.
Even If I went back and landed a triple axel.
I would still look back fondly on my small triumph.
To be honest though the axel to me is my greatest triumph.

An axel was like setting myself free.
If your thinking that small triumphs are great.
I would love to agree.
