to every cheerleader

Here are two cheerleading poems that I have collected, feel free to print them out and share them with your squad, but please do not use them on your website.

There are little eyes upon you and they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager to do anything you do, and a little girl who's dreaming of the day she'll be just like you.

You're the little girl's idol.
You're the wisest of the wise.
In her little mind about you no suspicions ever rise.
She believed in you devoutly.
Holds that all you say and do she will say and do.
In your way when she's a grown-up like you.
There's a wide-eyed little girl who believes you're always right.
And her ears are always open, and she watches day and night!

You are setting an example everyday in all you do, For the little girl who's waiting to grow up to be just like you.

Cheerleading is a way of life, shared by a chosen few, It is working as a unit in everything you do.

Cheerleading is rivalry, the competition makes you strong, It is sharing secrets and tears, learning to get along.

Cheerleading is that ongoing drive to be the very best, It is patience, perseverance, and very little rest.

Cheerleading is having poise and charm with every word you say, It is total dedication twenty-four hours a day.

It is always being ready with encouragement or a smile, Cheerleading is your chance to express your individual style.

Cheerleading is reaching out to comfort a sister who is sad, It is defending each other in the good times and the bad.

Cheerleaders are always there whenever someone asks, They treasure the present moment and let go of the past.

Cheerleading is a talent to be able to shine on cue, It is hiding the pain and anguish that if only people knew.

Cheerleaders after all, are real people that sometimes get down, but when they're in the spotlight, they must never put on a frown.

Cheerleaders are actresses, always ready to go, That is why it is important for all the world to know.

Not every girl can be a cheerleader, it takes a special kind, Cheerleaders are full of life and a little bit out of their mind.
