Life Is a Race

The tracks of life are set for replay But we clear our path with might and goals Sprinting onward come what may. Looming clouds in our day Threaten our sunshine, black as coals- The tracks of life are set for replay. If golden sunlight’s our pay We grow for the race, just like foals- Sprinting onward come what may. Sometimes we glow from a beaming ray. Who often foils our best laid goals? The tracks of life are set for replay We know the rules and follow them all the way And carefully run for our souls Sprinting onward come what may. Great men and women all made from clay Some are false starters some are moles; The tracks of life are set for replay; Sprinting onward come what may.
