In a field of golden wheat,
I found a place to lay my head,
Where the sun would gently greet,
And fill my soul with warmth instead.

Among the whispers of the wind,
A sanctuary that I now know,
Holds the secrets of my heart within.

Beneath the shade of ancient trees,
I found solace in their embrace,
Their wisdom whispered in the breeze,
And filled my spirit with grace.

Chorus:
This place is where I learned to heal,
Among the whispers of the past,
A sanctuary that I now feel,
Will always hold me steadfast.

Memories linger in the air,
Of laughter and of tears,
Lessons learned with tender care,
Through the passing of the years.

This place is where I learned to love,
Among the whispers of time,
A sanctuary that I'm part of,
A place where my heart will always chime.

Among the whispers of the earth,
A sanctuary where my roots,
Will always find their worth.

can you do it about gymnastics and write it like a 8th grader

Verse 1:

In the gym with mats so bright,
I grip the bars and take a flight,
Twisting and flipping through the air,
My heart soaring without a care.

Chorus:
Gymnastics is where I found my groove,
Among the chalk dust and cheers,
A place where I can always prove,
That my strength will persevere.

Verse 2:
Balancing on beams so slim,
I feel the rush deep within,
Cartwheels and handstands with grace,
I push myself to reach the highest place.

Chorus:
Gymnastics is where I found my passion,
Among the coaches and teammates near,
A place where I can show my true fashion,
And overcome every fear.

Bridge:
Tumbling and vaulting with all my might,
I learn to trust and never give up the fight,
With every twist and turn, I grow,
In this sport that I love so.

Chorus:
Gymnastics is where I shine bright,
Among the trophies and medals won,
A place where I can take flight,
And show the world what I've done.

Outro:
In the gym, I found my place,
Among the bars and mats so fine,
A sanctuary where I embrace,
My gymnastics dreams divine.

can you try again and tell me if it is lyrical or freeverse

Absolutely, let's give it another go:

In the gym with beams and bars so high,
I soar and spin beneath the sky,
Twisting, flipping, with all my might,
Feeling a rush, like taking flight.

Gymnastics is my sacred ground,
Where strength and grace are always found,
Among teammates' cheers and coaches' smiles,
I push myself for miles and miles.

Balancing on beams, feeling free,
I learn to trust what's inside me,
Vaulting high, with a fearless heart,
Gymnastics is my work of art.

Tumbling, leaping, with every move,
I find my rhythm, find my groove,
On this mat, I'm in my zone,
Where passion and dedication are shown.

In the world of flips and somersaults,
I find my voice, my true resolve,
Gymnastics is where I belong,
A place where I am forever strong.
