This Race

OF THE RACE Of the race I think I ran Across life’s highway at full throttle Sometimes with tears blocking my way And others with a smile lighting my life T’was never good all da time Not always rosy or cozy Sometimes it stung me w’ere it hurt And by golly I learned to hold it in This race I ran taught me to love Taught me to hate to, hate in equal measure too I learned the sting of peoples hate And learned the warmth of being loved This race will come to end And I, will I miss it wen it’s gone? To the bitter sweet memories I’ll always cling As the end of this race I await.
