A Runners Race


The first time you run a race 

Life’s problems you’ll escape 

In top physical shape you should be 

Or back of the pack you’ll see 

 

Give your all to be the best 

Don’t give into the fire from your chest 

For the win you’ll have to dig deep 

Without heart you’ll accept defeat 

 

Strategy is embedded in each lap 

With experience will be less mishaps 

Pushing and shoveling will soon be 

Fighting back will be up to me 

 

The finish line is in sight 

With a win your body you’ll fight 

In the last few steps you’ll win 

A champion in the end
