I wrote this and thought I'd share it with all of you because I know there are MANY like-minded women (and a few men, he he) here that absolutely LIVE for their next weight workout.
Cold Steel On a Silent Morning by Denise Cran
Cold steel on a silent morning
Tired muscles still cold with sleep
Slipping the gloves on calloused hands
This early hour, a sacred time I keep
In the pre-dawn of morning I'm all alone
The dedicated and driven machine
The face in the mirror that stares back at me
Fueled by impassioned desire and caffeine
The bulge of my muscles the smell of my sweat
The squeak and the clank of the metal
The pleasure, the pain, both one and the same
Less than 100% effort no I’ll never settle
The minutes and hours fly by in a blur
No one can touch me now
Pushing my body to new realms of pain
Still wanting more- to it I’ll never bow
Drive and determination- an unfailing will
To be the best I can be
Today I beat the iron machine
The winner of this round- is me.
