Ready, Set, Go

ready, set...
     GO! time's a thief
           p  u  r  s  u  e
                whatever goal
                      you covet; don't wait
                           for lawn grass
                                 to grow...
under your
     two feet;
          time isn't
               so patient
                    when you're standing still;
                          chase after that rainbow
                               and...

claim your pot of gold!
