Goodbye old days but my farewell to celebration will never come

Life is not a long race, but many short ones in succession

I am of unrelenting practice 
With strength to develop gradually in discipline
Wanting every single one to be an improved performance
Not yet feels best without consistently keen
To avoid immediate price of change of never improving
Keeps me going in race even under duress

I am of powerful perseverance
That could sustain hope for accomplishment
But issues with  time will pronounce its guarantee
Finished task counts on staying powers
For consistency is over hoping on subsequent
Keeps me in realization of victories

I am virtuous courage 
Though danger knocks in time of disaster 
Nothing is worthwhile as one's prowess when difficulties are in range
Vast changes soon turn now peaceful world over 
But to live without regrets - fear no danger
Keeps me cool even when toughness hang

I am teachable
The one combined of all my characteristics
Tough times under pressure are quite affordable 
Gets you to learn having know it counts
It (lesson) teaches and mentor leaders 
Keeps me expanding little by little

I am of quaint character 
Neglected but ever makes it into limelight
Taking people beyond limitation when knowledge disappear
Hard staying there long rarely clone primate
Almost neglected - its huge value protects gift
Keeps me humble till time truth linger

I am of healthy relationship
Having spent time with those failures
Almost knocked me down, drained me and pull me wrongly - I pip 
Come those successes in rare light of no mess 
And after all I did manage to show up 
Keeps me positive on difficult grounds

I am of prosperous responsibility
Which muscles should increase stamina
But scheduled the last choice to want 
Makes the performance unrealized of its potential 
With future suspended in hope almost forgot
Keeps me of value as strength trigger

I am of significant teamwork 
To propel force of  no gap in weaknesses 
Where no one is the targeted brick
Turning vision into reality is value in needs
Stands to risk for trust, credit and commitment but all are complex
Keeps me involving people of multiple perspectives

I am of God's love product
Where nothing can be traced to its being 
He counts not on my nature or conduct 
Knows me well before I ever start learning 
This AGAPE never house deceit 
Keeps me in His fear intriguingly

To everyone who celebrates with me, am great feel
