Tom Wright Poet Rhyme

Life's Race

	Life's Race
	Written: by Tom Wright
	9/8/98
	
	Life, isn't like a relay,
	With participants off and on,
	Nor is it like a sprint or dash,
	But more of a marathon;
	Many start a race for Christ,
	But too soon tire and rest.
	
	While others,
	Spiritually out of shape,
	Will not put forth their best;
	In giving man His chosen,
	God accepts from man no less.
	For salvation is a know so thing,
	Not feelings or a guess.
	
	We must daily run, not tire or quit,
	When encountering one more hurdle.
	Life isn't start, sprint, and fade,
	But in finishing, Like the Turtle.
