Girls' Track Team

Four be-ribboned poles mark our base; quitters we’re not, we will give chase. We have patience, hope, joy and grace. Relays? not hard, but just in case lane after lane we max our pace. Earnest and able, we’ll win this race. We have been lucky there’s no trace of team losers who josh or debase. To be frank, we will not embrace winning, then bragging in-your-face. This day, our dawn, we’re bound to place, we’ve made our focus - time and space. We are Patience, Hope, Joy and Grace, a four “man” team all dressed in lace. written November 25, 2016, edited February 11, 2017 for Shadow's contest, Monorhyme
