Be Encouraged (Septolet)

Run!
My son,
The long race.
Be encouraged!

And be strong.
Not swift,
Go!



Comments:  The Septolet poem has seven lines with a total of fourteen words.  It 
has two parts with a break between each part.  This one has a syllable count 
pattern of 1,2,3,4,3,2,1. The same thought and picture is portrayed in both parts 
for a complete picture.  This Septolet is about enduring to the end.
