Stumble and Fall

Stumble and fall,
Pick up, start over.
Life's a continuous treadmill,
Beginning to end.

The race is on,
Who is in front?
If he stumbles and falls,
Will he begin again?

Life has started.
Stumble and fall,
No bones broken,
After all.

The terrain gets steeper,
The speed increases.
Are you gaining or losing,
This race in life?

Fall to the wayside,
Stumble and fall.
Life's dangerous path,
Belongs to us all.
