My Race

If my race was a case
My vase should have bloomed an almond

If my race was a race
My place should be hard to trace

If my race had a phase
Oh! My phase? You’ll have lost count

If my race was a lace
You’ll wear a hard face weaving it

If my race was a race
My skin should confuse you to place me

If my race was a maze
My each turn should be equal to a cub of maize

I have began my race
Sorry you cant erase
